Several institutes have also given late fee payments’ option, zero-interest loans, and fee cuts for those fighting the pandemic at the forefront or involved by it.
Chandigarh University is going a step ahead and is giving a 10 percent quota or reservation especially for the children of those fighting at the forefront comprising children of doctors, paramedical staff, policemen, garbage collectors, etc. An extra fee rebate of 10 percent for their entire course period at the university from a bank of Rs 5 crore has also been announced for the coming admission cycle by the varsity.
LPU has also curtailed the minimum eligibility to avail the accessible merit-based scholarships to as low as 70 percent marks. Further, since beginners do not have results of class 12 boards or final-year UG results, the college has decided to avail the scholarships on the marks obtained in class 12 for PG scholarships and class 10 for the UG program.
Several other colleges believe that people have been indirectly affected because of the pandemic and hence are offering alternatives to ‘pay-later’. ISH is enabling students to take up zero-interest loans to students on their college fees. This implies a student can study without making any payment, but also have the alternative to pay their fee in due installments. These installments will be determined based on the package pupils get. They will be allowed a time of four years for this, Dilip Puri, founder, and CEO of the institute informed.
