Lakshya Scholarships for NIT Waragal Students

Project Goal: To fund NIT Warangal students in need of financial assistance.

This was Lakshya's first project, a milestone of sorts in student-alumni-faculty relations.

There are some students who find it hard to pay their institute fee, and this might be weighing them down from transforming their full potential into results. Lakshya verifies such applicants and has been pays institute fee. Apart from payments, we are extending this project to cover:

Know More About NIT Warangal

NIT Warangal was one of the first REC to be established in India, with the foundation stone laid in 1959 by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru himself. One of the smallest in terms of area (248 acres) among all the NITs, over the last 50 years it has grown into a premier engineering institute in India.  The college follows a uniform credit based course structure and a GPA based assessment. The course content and recommended textbooks at undergraduate level are all of good standards (compared to IITs) and the gives opportunity for students learn and build their knowledge in the area of interest. Along with the academic activities the college has a good selection of sports and co-curricular events for complete all around development of the students. The Faculty in most of the departments are comparable to other NITs and are usually more involved with teaching rather then research work. Warangal is very close to Hyderabad (132 Kms), which is one of the major IT centers in India. This close proximity with Hyderabad has in recent years led to a huge placement opportunity for students at NIT Warangal. Almost all the big companies like Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM etc visit campus for placements. Most of the students prefer to take up jobs in IT and Software industry. The number of students taking up higher studies whether for MBA or Masters is relatively low (when compared to other IITs and NITs).

To address this a big area of focus in recent years has been renovation of old buildings and construction of new hostels. The college also has a good financial support program for students , every semester 10% of students receive tuition wavier under the merit scholarship program. Thus, among the NITs, NIT Warangal consistently features among the top three along with NIT Trichy and NIT Suratkhal.
