Interviews for scholarship will be held at relevant campuses, says SU-VC

JAMSHORO: The vice chancellor, University of Sindh, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Siddique Kalhoro has taken yet another vital step to take the interviews of meritorious students at their relevant campuses for need-cum-merit scholarships instead of doing the same at main campus in Jamshoro in order to facilitate them.

After the directives issued by the vice chancellor, the scholarship committee went all the way to Larkana, Naushehro Feroz and Dadu campuses to take interviews from the deserving candidates.

The committee interviewed 76 deserving and talented students in Larkana Campus, 25 in Naushero Feroz and 93 in Dadu Campus.

Similarly, the scholarship committee will take the interviews of 30 deserving students at Mirpurkhas campus and 54 at Laar Campus Badin.

According to director Students Financial Aid Office, University of Sindh Jamshoro, Dr. Fiza Qureshi, interviews of 28 deserving and talented students will be conducted on April 9 at Thatta Campus, after which she said the recommendations will be formulated and sent to the vice chancellor for approval.

Earlier, she said, the students from all the campuses used to come to the main campus to appear before the interview committee for scholarships, but this time, she said the vice chancellor Prof Dr Muhammad Siddique Kalhoro instead of calling the students to Jamshoro as usual, directed the committee to visit the campuses itself in this connection.

“I have instructed the scholarship committee to go and conduct interviews at the relevant campuses, by which, the money and time of the poor students could be saved”, the vice chancellor said.

He said that he was determined to make every possible effort to facilitate the students enrolled at the additional campuses.

On the other hand, the students expressed pleasure over the facility of interviews at their campuses provided by the vice chancellor and thanked him profusely.

It may be noted that the amount of need-cum-merit scholarship is provided by the department of Ushar & Zakat, the Government of Sindh.
