TNI Bureau: The KIIT Deemed University (KIIT-DU) has decided to provide free education to children of COVID-19 deceased in Odisha to ease the unprecedented burden on their family.
Acting on a proposal by KIIT & KISS Founder Dr. Achyuta Samanta, KIIT-DU has decided to provide technical and professional education absolutely free of cost to the children of the Covid deceased.
The children of the COVID-19 deceased can apply to different technical and professional courses of KIIT-DU, including ITI and Diploma Engineering, as per their eligibility for admission. This facility will be available for two academic years, 2020-21 and 2021-22 only.
Preference will be given to the children of Covid deceased from BPL, SC, ST and SCBC categories.
