Big News Regarding PMSSS – Students Complaints Regarding Decrease In Yearly Scholarship Amount
A Student who Is admitted in College Outside UT of Jammu and Kashmir shared This Story With JK Student Update “Aicte not paying our maintenance allowance fully under pmsss(they reduce it from 1 lack/year to 40k /year)
I am writing this on behalf of all the PMSSS students who are admitted in colleges outside the UT of J&K and Ladakh.The issue is that we are not getting full scholarship that was promised to us at the time of our admissions.In PMSSS we were to get 1 lakh rupees for books , internet connection,hostel fee,and other Maintainance fees.But for the current session we are being told that you will only get 40k rather than 1lac rupees.They are justifying this claim by saying that you are studying in online mode so you don’t need any Maintainance fees.But when we spoke to the students they stated that most of the students under PMSSS are living in P.G s or Flats were they have to make a yearly agreement and have to pay rents for whole year whether they stay there or not.Others who are living in hostel have to pay Hostel fees because all the accessories,books, important documents and othe materials that students possessed are stuck in the hostels they were staying in and if they will not pay them the hostel fees they will lose all these things including their documents .
We wrote to every AICTE official regarding this but no one is paying heed to our issues . Students are facing lots of issues and depression as everyones economy has shrunk in the times of pandemic.
