SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST), Kattankulathur, is offering scholarships to 300 students from the Perambalur constituency. SRMIST Founder Chancellor and Perambalur Constituency Member of Parliament Dr TR Paarivendhar announced the scholarship.

Applicants from economically weaker sections will be selected based on their performance in their respective board examinations.  

“For the past two years, SRMIST had given free education to 600 students. This year too, I will keep up my election promise and provide free education to 300 students from my constituency,” the minister said. 

Scheme to cover full tuition fees  

These 300 students from economically weaker sections in the Perambalur constituency would be given free education at the SRM group of institutions. This scheme will only cover full tuition fees and be renewed on basis of academic performance. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, hostel facilities will not be provided. 

Dr Paarivendhar said the SRM group would strive to make education at private universities beneficial to those from the economically weaker sections. 

He said, “Students should utilise this opportunity to pursue higher studies.” 

He said deserving students would get suitable placements. “The selection process for this scholarship will be done based on merit and the student's economic background.” 

"Apart from providing good, quality education to the people in my Constituency, I also want to provide them with better infrastructure facilities," he said.
