The Union Ministry of Human Resource Development has launched a Special Scholarship Scheme for J&K students appearing for class XII or equivalent exams through the State Board of Jammu & Kashmir or Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) affiliated schools located in J&K.

According to sources under the scheme, 5000 scholarships will be given every year to J&K students, who seek admission outside the State to pursue higher education in general degree courses, engineering and medical studies in government colleges and other non-government institutes recognized by AlCTE or UGC.

Sources said that out of these, 4500 scholarships would be for general degree courses and 250 each for medical and engineering courses. An amount of up to Rs.30,000 per annum for general degree courses, up to Rs.1.25 lakh per annum for engineering and up to Rs.3 lakh per annum for medical studies are being given to every scholar as tuition fees.

They added that in addition to this, hostel fees and incidentals is also being given for all categories of courses up to a ceiling of Rs. one lakh per annum. Efforts are also being made by the Ministry to popularize the scheme among the students by publishing it at school level.

    • About 5008 students have been admitted in different colleges outside j&k state under this scholarship scheme but their career has been spoiled because ministry of human resources and development have not released funds for the colleges , now the college authorities are forcing students to leave the colleges or either pay the hefty fee which the students can’t due to their family income being too low , the college authorities have even snatched their board certificates of 10th and 12th classes so that the students career gets wasted….
