  25. This is totally ridiculous!!!!!!!
    • Students who secured admission under Management seats/management quota/NRI Quota are not eligible???????

    Shame to know the government implies a repayment scheme without having basic knowledge that those who doesn’t get government seats are forced to pay huge fees under management quota in private institutions. This is no way helping those who have already paid more than three times of prinicple amount to banks as interest.
