[Arvind Kumar]

The Post-matric Scholarship Scheme Guidelines for Students belonging to the Minority Communities as mentioned by Ministry of Minority Affairs, Government of India are as follows:


The Prime Ministers New 15 Point Programme for the Welfare of Minorities was announced in June, 2006. It provides that a post-matric scholarship scheme for meritorious students from minority communities would be implemented.

Its objective is to award scholarships to meritorious students belonging to economically weaker sections of minority community so as to provide better opportunities for higher education, increase their rate of attainment in higher education and enhance employability for them


Selection Procedure

Fresh
As the number of scholarships for minorities available in a year is fixed and limited, it is necessary to lay down preference for selection.
Inter-se selection weightage is to be given to poverty rather than marks (the applicant is required to submit an income certificate as per para-11(ii)).
In case of same income, merit shall be generated from Date of Birth criteria of applicant (senior is preferred).


Renewal
There is no merit list generation for renewal cases. Renewal applicant will get the scholarship if one has obtained 50% in previous years exams (at the same institute and in same course) and application is verified by all authorities (as designated by Ministry of Minority Affairs) and approved by State Governments/UTs.
