Vice Chancellor Prof GD Sharma congratulated the successful students, attributing their achievements to comprehensive coaching programs that extend beyond mere academics. USTM enhances student preparedness through soft skills training, interview workshops, and motivational seminars, reinforcing its devotion to academic excellence.
Dr. Trishna Thakuria, Director of the University NET Forum, revealed that Rs 1.3 crores have been reimbursed to achievers as part of the Pay Back Policy, underscoring USTM’s best practices. She elaborated on the incentive scheme encouraging students to excel in top-level competitive exams like NET, GATE, and SLET, with qualified candidates getting their fees reimbursed.

In line with its Outreach Mission, USTM proudly offers free coaching for exams such as the National Eligibility Test (NET), State Eligibility Test (SLET), and Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) through its Centre for Competitive Examination.
