Tips to Maximise Your Chances
- Apply early — do not wait for the deadline. Portal issues are common near deadlines.
- Pick the scheme that suits you best — you can usually hold only one government scholarship for the same purpose.
- Keep documents ready — income certificate, domicile, and caste certificate take time.
- Check both state and central government scholarships — many students miss central schemes.
