Free Admission For Meritorious Poor Students & Toppers

ERD Foundation has taken an initiative to support and provide free education to the exceptionally meritorious students from families belonging to BELOW POVERTY LINE, as they cannot afford the financial liability of such courses.
The management of ERDF has been giving free admission for meritorious students of BPL families in all the institutes run by ERDF. Similarly, decision has been taken to admit meritorious BPL students specially from rural areas as per criteria prescribed by both ERDF and USTM. BPL students already passed out from different institutes have been engaged in various reputed organizations making the efforts of ERDF fruitful.

Reality of USTM and should you take admission or not?

Placements: According to seniors, if you have a decent CGPA, you can directly be placed in good companies and have a good salary. And it doesn’t totally depend on the number of students, but 80% of them get placed without any issue with a median package of 5-6 LPA.

The INs and OUTs of USTM.

Placements: Our course did not provide us with placement opportunities as it strictly adhered to a coaching environment, with the main goal of the course being the competitive examinations, namely UPSC. The course also did not encourage internships as it would take away the focus on academics and self-reading time for the students.

I like the functional programs that are held every year in our university.

Placements: There are a lot of companies. The highest salary package is offered by Wipro and Infosys. Students get internships in Wipro and Infosys. Our college organizes sightseeing or visiting factories or companies for study purposes. Our college placements start at the end of the first year. It is based on students' knowledge, performance, and grades. Our college provides us with the opportunity to take interviews, and if we pass the interview, we get the job.

Teachers are friendly and helpful. They try their level best to make students understand the topics.

Placements: Perfect semester students become eligible for campus placements. Companies like Microsoft, Google, etc., visit our college for placements. The salary packages are offered in crores from the college. The percentage of students who get placements is more than 50%. My plan after my degree is to get a good placement.
