The Ministry of Human Resources Development, Department of Higher Education, Government of India has introduced a new scholarship scheme titled “Central Sector Scheme of Scholarship for College and University Students”.
OBJECTIVE:
To provide financial assistance to meritorious
students from low-income families to meet day-to-day expenses while
pursuing higher studies.
SCOPE:
The scholarships
will be awarded on the basis of the results of Senior Secondary
Examination (class XII) of 10+2 pattern or equivalent. 82000 fresh scholarships per annum (41000 for boys and 41000 for girls) will be awarded for graduate / postgraduate studies in colleges and universities and for professional courses such as Medical, Engineering etc.
ALLOCATION OF SCHOLARSHIPS:
The total number of scholarships will be divided
amongst the State Boards based on the State’s population in the age
group of 18-25 years, after segregating share of CBSE and ICSE on the
basis of number of students passing out from various Boards in the
country. The number of scholarships allotted to a Board would be
distributed amongst pass outs of the Science, Commerce and Humanities
streams of the Board in the ratio of 3:2:1. Within the specified quota,
the selection shall be made on merit.
TENABILITY:
A scholarship under the scheme has to be availed of
in the year it is made in the Scheme for the duration of the course
subject to fulfilling eligibility criteria.
RATE OF SCHOLARSHIPS:
The scholarship will be given @ Rs.1000/- per month
at Graduation level for first three years of College and University
courses and Rs.2000/- per month at Post graduation level. Students
pursuing professional courses would get Rs.2000/- per month in the 4th
& 5th year. The scholarship would be paid for 10 months in an academic year.
RENEWAL OF SCHOLARSHIPS:
A scholarship under the scheme is renewable from year to year within the same stage of education. The renewal will depend on promotion to the next class provided the scholar secures 60% or more marks in aggregate in the semester/annual
examination which determines his promotion to the next class. It will
also be subject to discipline and maintenance of attendance by the
scholar. Complaints against these scholars regarding indiscipline
including any complaints of having indulged in ragging would lead to
forfeiture of scholarship.
If a scholar is unable to appear in the annual
examination owing to illness and or on account of any unforeseen event,
the award may be renewed for the next academic year on submission of
medical certificate and other proof to satisfy the Head of the
Institution who will certify that the student would have passed with 60%
had he appeared in the examination.
If a scholar gives up the chosen course of study
before its completion or if he changes the course of study without the
approval of the MHRD the scholarship will be cancelled. Good conduct and regularity in attendance are also required for continuance of the scholarship. The decision of the MHRD will be final and binding in all such matters. Scholarship once cancelled will not be revived in any circumstance.
PAYMENT OF SCHOLARSHIP:
Scholarship will be paid to the selected students
directly by the Central Government through a Bank Account opened by them
for the purpose in a designated Bank. Based on the eligibility
certificate presented by the awardees, the designate bank(s) shall open
account for all such merit scholars and ensure timely credit and
maintain a proper database of the account numbers of the students
receiving the scholarship. Where the branch of the bank is not
available, the bank will issue co-branded ATM cards to the awardees, so
that they can draw scholarship from any ATM without any charges. This will include flexibility of withdrawal of scholarship by the awardees through ATM of all nationalized banks, and its subsidiaries. The payment of scholarship will start from the month the admission is obtained.
Last date for application : 31st October 2012
A fascinating discussion is worth comment. There's no doubt that that you need to publish more on this subject matter, it may not be a taboo subject but usually folks don't speak about such subjects. To the next! All the best!!
