Surendranath College

Students from families having an annual income of less than Rs. 60000/-per annum are asked to apply to the college for aid. They have to produce a family annual income certificate from the Councillor of their area of residence which is considered for granting aid from the college. The policy is to waive off tuition fees for a maximum of five months for CBCS students and a maximum of 10 months for students under the old (1+1+1) system. SC, ST, OBC. Minority or students enjoying any other grant are not considered for this freeship. After sorting the applications on the basis of family annual income, the Principal along with the Committee members meet the parents of the deserving, eligible students, on a notified day, before sanctioning the college tuition fee waiver.
