Great news for MS-CIT Centres!
1.
The
Minorities Development Department of Maharashtra Government has
announced a ‘Fee Reimbursement’ Scheme for students from minority
communities admitted in any of the 27 listed Employment-Oriented
Short-Term Training Programmes. The MS-CIT course is one of them.
2. This
is great news not only for students from minority communities but
also for MS-CIT Centres throughout Maharashtra. This is how the
centres can benefit from this scheme:
i. Inform
minority community students who have already completed this course
anytime between April 1, 2009 and today that they can apply under
the scheme for ‘Fee Re-imbursement’ that they have already paid to
you for the course. You will thus build goodwill with your
ex-students and their families.
ii. Inform
minority community students currently admitted at your Centres that
they can apply for ‘Fee Re-imbursement’.
iii. Inform
minority community students that if they enrol now (before the last
date - February 18, 2010) they too can apply for ‘Fee
Re-imbursement’ and there is a good chance they will get the
sanction.
iv. This
scheme is to continue in the next year too. If there is a good
response, the total number of scholarships can be increased
substantially from this year’s 5,000 to benefit many, many more
students. Thus, what is good news for minority students is good news
for your Centre too.
Remember, there is no age limit for eligibility. Someone who has
passed SSC/HSC many years back is also eligible to apply. The only
age limit will be the age limit, if any, prescribed for admission to
the MS-CIT course.
