Government engineering colleges in India house an SC/ST Cell specifically
dedicated to supporting Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) students.
This cell acts as a champion for these students, ensuring their wellbeing and academic success.
The SC/ST Cell works in various ways:
Ensuring Reservation Policy: They monitor the implementation of
reservation policies in admissions, scholarships, and hostel facilities.
• Academic Support: The cell might organize remedial classes, workshops, and
mentorship programs to bridge any academic gaps faced by SC/ST students.
• Financial Aid Awareness: They create awareness about scholarships and
financial aid programs offered by the government and other institutions to ease
the financial burden on SC/ST students.
• Grievance Redressal: The cell provides a platform for SC/ST students to voice
their concerns and grievances, addressing issues related to discrimination or
social challenges.
• Empowerment and Support: They organize workshops and sessions to
promote personality development, career guidance, and social integration,
empowering SC/ST students to thrive in the college environment
