Delhi University’s Sri Venkateswara College has announced a special pilgrimage opportunity for its final-year students who achieve a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 9.5 or above in their exams. Under this initiative, the college will sponsor a Tirupati temple visit for qualifying students along with both parents.
The sponsorship includes covering AC 3-tier train fares for the student and both parents, enabling comfortable travel to the famous pilgrimage site. This initiative follows the college receiving official approval from the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) on 28 October 2026.
Additional Awards for Eligible Students
Besides the pilgrimage sponsorship, students who meet the 9.5 CGPA criterion will also receive a commemorative package as part of the TTD Pratibha Award scheme. This package includes a five-gram silver coin, a shawl, a memento, and a certificate, recognizing their academic excellence and encouraging spiritual engagement.
Significance for Students and Families
This scheme enables students who have excelled academically to share the pilgrimage experience with their parents, fostering family bonding along with spiritual enrichment. Travel and pilgrimage costs are often a major constraint for families, and this initiative alleviates that burden while rewarding academic performance substantively.
The Tirupati temple is one of the most revered pilgrimage destinations in India, and this opportunity offers a unique way for high-achieving students of Sri Venkateswara College to celebrate their success.
