35% of seats in all private state universities to be reserved by Andhra Pradesh Government quota

Andhra Pradesh Government has decided to reserve 35% of seats in all private universities, barring deemed universities, to be filled up under the quota for the students from poor and marginalized sections of the society.

Andhra Pradesh Government has decided to pay for the education of meritorious students hailing from poor and middle-class families under a flagship programme 'Jagananna Vidya Deevena'. For a long time now, private universities charging exorbitant fees have burdened a lot of poor and middle-class families, thereby making quality education unavailable to many who could not afford the same.

Andhra Pradesh Government's Jagananna Vidya Deevena is open to students choosing to attend a private university.
