New Delhi: The new IITs/IIMs/NIITs, new law schools and host of other new educational institutions run by various government ministries will soon be included in the list of top class educational institutes so that scheduled caste students can avail of government scholarship.
Even non-government and semi-government engineering and managament institutes are proposed to be included. BITS Pilani, BIT Mesra, KIT hubaneswar, VIT Vellore, Thapar IET Patiala and a few others are already part of the ‘top class educational institute’ scheme.
The number of such institutes will increase from the present 125 to 184 with the HRD ministry agreeing with the request of social justice ministry. Other ministries like health, tourism and agriculture are also likely to agree with the proposal. Social justice ministry had requested that all six newly-opened IITs in Punjab, Orissa, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh as well as two new NITs at Agartala and Raipur be made part of the ‘top class educational’ scheme. In case of IITs, the new one at Kanchipuram is proposed for inclusion.
The Central Institute of Post-Harvest Engineering and Technology, Ludhiana, has been proposed for deletion from the list as it is a research institute and does not provide degree/diploma. But Delhi College of Engineering is likely to be included. Now, there will be 58 engineering institutes under the scheme, an increase of 10. Among IIMs, the new one at Shillong will also be part of the scheme. Social justice ministry has also proposed to the HRD that the management course in IITs be included. While the managament course of five IITs is part of ‘top class education’ scheme, IIT Roorkee’s management course is proposed to be included. Semi-government management institute like MDI Gurgaon would also be part of it. There will, thus, be an increase of six institutes in the management category taking the total to 29.
In the medical stream, JIPMER (Puducherry), PGIMS (Chandigarh and Lucknow), Maulana Azad Medical College, Lady Hardinge Medical College (both Delhi), IMS (BHU-Varanasi), MMC (Chennai) and KEMMC (Mumbai) would be part of the scheme.
