💨 Abstract

Uttar Pradesh government plans to register IITs, IIMs, and other premier institutes with its Department of Social Welfare to provide scholarships to students. This follows a case where a Dalit student almost lost his IIT seat due to delayed fee payment. The first institute to be registered will be IIT Dhanbad, which was directed by the Supreme Court to admit the student, Atul Kumar.
