In India, students belonging to reserved categories such as Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC) are often eligible for fee waivers or reductions as part of affirmative action policies. These fee concessions aim to make higher education more accessible and affordable for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Some institutions offer full or partial fee waivers based on government-mandated policies, while others may have separate financial aid programs. Students should inquire with their chosen institution’s admissions office to understand the specific benefits available to them and the application process for availing such fee waivers.
