INSTITUTIONAL DISTINCTIVENESS

Enabling Dreams Through Fee Waiver And Empowering Education For Underprivileged Students

SJCE takes the pride in the commitment to accessibility and inclusivity in education. One of the significant paths through which we fulfill this commitment is our exclusive Institutional Fee Waiver Scheme. This scheme extends beyond governmental scholarships, aiming to address the educational needs of economically disadvantaged students.
SJCE firmly believes that education is the great equalizer for the economically disadvantaged since the financial barriers prevents many talented individuals from pursuing higher education. In acknowledging this reality, our institution recognizes that mere governmental scholarships may not suffice to bridge the gap for all deserving students. The fixed fee structure, while affordable for some, remains an obstacle for others, particularly those belonging to economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Hence, our fee waiver scheme emerges as an inspiration of hope, offering a lifeline to students who would otherwise find themselves unable to afford engineering education.

INSTITUTIONAL FEE WAIVER SCHEME

the student will be waived off from the actual fees which is fixed as ₹ 1,00,000/- per candidate. The fee amount of ₹ 1,00,000/- is unimaginable for certain families even if the government provides scholarship ranging from ₹25,000/- to ₹50,000/-Thus SJCE is acutely aware that access to quality education should not be confined to the privileged few, but rather, it should be a right extended to all, regardless of their financial backgrounds.
To ensure that the fee waiver scheme reaches those who need it at the most most and to maintain academic standards, the eligibility criteria have been precisely created. The applicants must exhibit the academic records by a minimum of 60% in their Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examination.
Furthermore to qualify for the fee waiver, the annual family income of the applicant should not exceed Rs. 1,00,000/-. This income threshold ensures that the scholarship is directed toward individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, for whom financial constraints might otherwise pose insurmountable barriers to pursuing higher education.
SJCE also recognizes the unique challenges faced by students from single-parent households, we extend preferential treatment to their wards. This acknowledgment of their circumstances underscores our institution's commitment to supporting individuals facing additional hurdles on their educational journey.
Adding on SJCE offers a remarkable opportunity for students who excel academically, providing a 100% fee waiver for those who achieve above 90% in their HSC examinations. This generous initiative not only recognizes outstanding academic achievement but also alleviates financial burdens, enabling deserving students to pursue their engineering education without financial constraints.
Securing the fee waiver for the first year is just the beginning; the students must meet specific conditions to retain the scholarship in subsequent years. These conditions are designed to foster academic excellence, accountability, and responsible conduct. The first criteria for continuing the fee waiver is maintaining a minimum of 80% attendance ensures active engagement with the course and facilitates a conducive learning environment. Also, Adherence to disciplinary norms and university regulations is non-negotiable, reflecting our commitment to upholding institutional values and fostering a culture of integrity.
Beyond the numerical figures and eligibility criteria, the Institutional Fee Waiver Scheme embodies a profound commitment to social equity and educational empowerment. By extending financial assistance beyond governmental offerings, we signal our dedication to nurturing talent and creating opportunities for all segments of society. The transformative power of education cannot be overstated, and our fee waiver initiative serves as a catalyst for social mobility, unlocking doors to a world of knowledge and opportunities.
The fee waiver scheme's impact reaches far beyond individuals, resonating across communities and society. Investing in the education of economically disadvantaged students seeds future innovation, entrepreneurship, and socio-economic development. Regardless of financial backgrounds, we nurture tomorrow's engineers; ensuring talent isn't squandered due to financial constraints.
Additionally, educational empowerment's ripple effects extend beyond academia. Equipping individuals with skills and knowledge fosters a more inclusive and prosperous society. Education transcends academics, serving as a tool for social transformation, empowering individuals to break free from poverty's shackles and realize their full potential.
