Assistantship Programme
Shri Mata Vaishno Devi
University (SMVDU) has initiated Student Assistantship Programme
(SAP) to inculcate work culture and competitive spirit among the
students. SAP has been launched for the first time in the state
of Jammu & Kashmir by any University at this scale. Under SAP
the University provides financial assistance in terms of
semester tuition fee waiver, ranging from 10% to 90% on the
basis of merit during the semester to the top 10% meritorious
students in various professional disciplines.
The programme
aims at preparing students for the challenges of the job market
by generating academic competition and inculcates work culture
at the same time. The selected candidates have to put in 10
hours of work in the chosen sphere weekly or 140 hours per
semester as per the jobs assigned by Dean/Directors of various
Colleges/Schools of the University. The programme is valid for
one semester only and the student will have to remain in the top
10% in order to be eligible for receiving the same in the next
semester. The programme is a continuous feature of the varsity's
academic curriculum. The awardees have to maintain highest
cumulative grade point average (CGPA) besides no loss of the
registered credits to receive the benefits of the scheme on a
continuous basis. From the ensuing academic year 10% students in
each class shall be eligible to receive the benefits of SAP as
