SC/ST CELL

About SC/ST Cell

Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) have been identified as the two most backward groups of Indian Society. They include all the castes, races or tribes, which have been socially, economically and educationally backward. The cell at our best MBA & MCA College in Nizamabad has been established to support and to bring students from such communities in the mainstream.

The SC/ST cell of Nishitha Degree College was established in 2021 with the purpose to empower the SC/ST students in the college. The college takes a special interest in facilitating financial support to students belonging to these communities from government agencies and other sources. They are also encouraged to enroll for career orientation programs, which would equip them with the necessary skills to choose a career option.

The cell will also look into the implementation of reservation in admissions to courses at our autonomous college in Telangana for SC/ST students.
