Delhi University's fee waiver programme for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds has received around 1,700 applications. As per an official, the waiver includes all components of the fees paid by the students except the examination fee and the hostel fee. Students from an economically weak background can get up to 100 per cent fee waiver, depending on their family income. A full-time bonafide student studying in the university is eligible to apply for it. The scheme is in keeping with the spirit of the government's "Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas" motto, he said.
The institution will review the submissions before publishing the final list of students who would be eligible for the Financial Support Scheme (FSS). The deadline for submitting an application for the programme was January 31.
