Here is good news for rural ranker students; BTech dual degree for rural ranker from RGUKT. In a first of its kind initiative, the Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT) and the Andhra Pradesh (AP) government are offering a six year programme aimed at engineering, for meritorious rural students. After six years, students will get guaranteed placements in blue chip companies. "The degree offered will be no less than that offered by the IITs," says Kumar. But this will be devoid of the mind-boggling cost. "For every student the actual yearly fee is Rs1.36 lakh. But, in our case, Rs1lakh is state government funded and Rs36,000 is loaned out by us to the student through a bank," reports DNA india [original at bolmamabol]
