Pre-Matric Scholarship for OBC Students (Class 9 and 10), Andaman, and Nicobar 2023-24

The candidates will be selected based on the fulfilment of the eligibility criteria.

• The income certificate is required to be taken once only, i.e. at the time of admission to courses.
• Students must have maintained a regular attendance record of at least 75% in the previous academic year.
• At least 5% of the scholarships will be reserved for students with disabilities and 30% will be awarded to female students.
• The provisions of this scheme can be changed at any time at the discretion of the Government of India. 
• Scholarship obtained through false statements will be immediately cancelled, and the disbursed amount may be recovered at the discretion of the relevant state government. Additionally, the student will be blacklisted and permanently barred from receiving scholarships under any scheme.
• Under this scholarship scheme, a maximum of two males from the same family [sharing parent(s )or guardians] are eligible for the award. However, this restriction does not apply to females. This means that scholarships received by females in the same family will not affect the eligibility of up to two males to receive the scholarship.

For Renewal of Scholarship:-

•  Students may continue receiving the scholarship in the next academic year, provided the state government or union territory administration approves their renewal. However, this renewal can be denied if the school's relevant authority recommends discontinuation based on specific regulations governing the scholarship scheme.
• The award once made will be payable until the student passes Class 10, subject to satisfactory academic performance and attendance of 75% in every academic year. The attendance will be verified through an Aadhaar-based attendance System. 
• If a scholar is unable to appear in the annual examination owing to illness, the award may be renewed subject to the production of a medical certificate from a prescribed authority and acceptance of the same by the institution.
• This scholarship opportunity lasts one academic year only. Repeating a class does not extend eligibility for the scholarship in that class beyond the initial year.
