Hi aspirant,

Stars scheme is a appreciative campaign by VIT management that aims to provide poor, deprived and meritorious students from rural areas of Tamilnadu to study and grow at one of the top colleges in India. VIT Management Stands tall as it takes these children in its fold through the STARS scheme (SUPPORT THE ADVANCEMENT OF RURAL STUDENTS). Financially disadvantaged children don’t have to stop dreaming of becoming an Engineer. VIT STARS Scheme helps these students from under privileged background to achieve what they deserve by giving them 100% fee waiver for their academic and hostel facilities including basic medical expenses.

To be eligible for this program the annual income of family needs to be less than 1.5 lacs.  The procedure is as follows:

• Top Ten boys and girls from Rural Government schools are shortlisted for the scheme (Government Schools located under Corporation, Municipality, Town panchayat limits are not eligible).
• Such identified District toppers will be called for an interview based on marks secured in their Higher Secondary examination. Among them, one male and one female student will be admitted, after the results are published.
• Final admissions to STARS scheme will be decided by the VIT Management
