Interviewer instructions

Tuition fee waived is generally given by virtue of the student belonging to some special category like
underprivileged class etc. The category under which the fee is being exempted will be given as the reason
for exemption.

These are :

Scheduled tribe ... 1
Scheduled caste ... 2
Other backward class ... 3
Handicapped ... 4
Merit ... 5
Financially weak ... 6
Others ... 9

If tuition fee waiver is granted to all the students in the class, irrespective of the category then 'others' may
be recorded in such cases. Codes 1 to 6 are to be given only if the exemption is specifically due to those
factors.
