No admission fee; for six months; for SC/ST students joining government medical and engineering colleges. Think about that: clearing NEET or JEE is hard enough. But even after you crack it, you might still miss out because you can’t pay the admission fees. That’s the hidden wall many bright students hit. Odisha’s CM Mohan Charan Majhi saw it, and he acted. This isn’t just about money; it’s about access. A student who cleared JEE but can’t afford ₹10,000 for admission paperwork now gets breathing room. Six months without pressure. Time to arrange funds, loans, or family support. It’s not charity. It’s justice. And it’s smart policy; because talent shouldn’t be filtered by bank balance. Other states are watching. Will they follow? Or will Odisha be the only one letting merit walk in without a toll booth?
