Bhubaneswar: Rank holders in the Orissa Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE), 2011, in the B. Tech and B. Pharm streams, who belong to Orissa and whose parents' annual income is less than Rs 2.5 lakh, can apply for a fee-waiver under the Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) scheme. These candidates are required to obtain an income certificate issued by the local tehsildar and register their names on the OJEE website (www.odishajee.com) by June 30. The All India Council for Technical Education had issued guidelines to all technical colleges affiliated to it to reserve at least five per cent of the seats for financially weaker students. Around 1,900 students would benefit from this, said OJEE authorities.
