Mumbai University grants ₹2.74 crore in financial aid this year to support students from economically weaker and marginalised sections. The university distributes the funds across its affiliated colleges to ensure financial challenges do not interrupt higher education access for deserving candidates.
The financial aid supports students from backward classes, scheduled castes and tribes, and other minority groups. The funds cover tuition fees, academic charges, and other essential costs. Officials confirm that the selection process remains transparent and needs-based, prioritising students affected by post-pandemic financial distress.
According to university authorities, more than 3,000 students benefit from the initiative.
