SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST), Kattankulathur is offering scholarships to 300 students from the Perambalur constituency. This was announced by SRMIST’s Founder Chancellor and Perambalur Constituency Member of Parliament, Dr. T. R Paarivendhar.
Speaking at the press conference held at the Institute’s premises he said, “This is part of my promise to the people of Perambalur constituency. For the last two years, SRMIST had given free education to 600 students. This year too I will keep up my election promise and provide free education to 300 students from my constituency.”
These 300 students from economically weaker sections in the Perambalur constituency would be given free education at the SRM group of institutions. This scheme will only cover full tuition fees and be renewed on basis of academic performance. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, hostel facilities will not be provided.
Dr Paarivendhar said that the SRM group would strive to make education at private universities beneficial to those from the economically weaker sections.
He said, “Students should utilize this opportunity to pursue higher studies.”
He assured that deserving students would get suitable placements. “The selection process for this scholarship will be done based on merit and the student’s economic background.”
