The proposed criteria of selection are as follows: the financial constraints of the family (low income) the academic performance of the student (minimum attendance of 80% and above 50% marks in the college examination/selection tests). The money will be transferred annually from the sponsorship fund/sponsoring agent to the college account as payment for the students expenses and the same will be intimated to the sponsor, the parent and in the annual report of the college presented by the principal at the inauguration of the college academic session.
The sponsorship of the student will be named after the person or agency or family that the sponsor so desires to be named after.

A sum of 25000/- should cover the above costs.
