VIT AP University has taken a significant step towards promoting inclusive education by admitting 48 talented students who are district toppers in IPE (Intermediate Public Exam – AP) from 26 districts of Andhra Pradesh under its STARS (Support the Advancement of Rural Students) scheme. This initiative aims to provide a transformative opportunity to students from underprivileged backgrounds by offering them a 100% fee waiver for academic and hostel facilities.

Speaking on the occasion Dr.S.V.Kota Reddy –Vice-Chancellor at VIT AP University,said The STARS scheme, which began in 2008 in Vellore Tamilnadu is the brainchild of Dr. G. Viswanathan – Hon’ble Chancellor of VIT University. The STARS scheme underscores VIT’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life for rural students.
