If your family income is less than 1 lakh, you may be eligible for a 100 percent  tuition fee waiver at SMVDU under the Student Merit cum Means Scholarship Scheme. This scheme supports students from economically weaker backgrounds and also considers academic performance. The waiver typically applies to tuition fees for the first few semesters, and in some cases, partial hostel fee waivers are provided. Eligibility depends on your family income, merit, and program, so it’s important to check the official SMVDU admission brochure or website for detailed guidelines.
