The University of Madras, on Friday, issued allotment letters to 219 students from poor families to study in its affiliated colleges for the academic year 2024-25.
The Madras University Free Education Scheme, launched in 2010-2011 for socially and economically backward students, is open to students whose annual family income does not exceed ₹3 lakh.
Each year since the launch 250 students have benefited from the scheme. The allotment letters were distributed by registrar S. Elumalai at an event in the university.
