IITs implement fee waivers, relaxed cut-offs, and call centre support for reserved category students

IITs are making higher education more accessible for reserved category students by offering fee concessions, relaxed cut-offs, and preparatory courses for SC, ST, and PwD candidates. Initiatives like “Citizen Service Centres” and a multi-lingual call center aim to assist rural students. Additionally, income-based tuition waivers further support economically disadvantaged students across all IITs.
