TIST Foundation for Economically Backward Rural Students
We are among the first under Cochin University of Science & Technology (CUSAT) to introduce a foundation in line with our commitment to social welfare and the guiding principles of our Institute. TIFERS was inaugurated on 18th October 2004 by Mr. John Brewer, Former District Governor of Rotary International, New York, USA.
 The TIFERS foundation partly funds the educational needs of rural economically backward students who wish to take up engineering as their profession.
