- Incentive amount for competitive examinations and minority students also.
Bihar government is running many such schemes for the students, through which financial help is provided for everything from school to college and preparation for competitive examinations. The special thing is that separate schemes have been made for daughters, Scheduled Caste-Tribe, Backward Class, Extremely Backward Class and minority community students.
First of all, if we talk about daughters, unmarried girl students who have passed 12th are given one-time financial assistance under the Chief Minister Kanya Utthan Yojana. Its objective is to encourage girls for further studies. At the same time, girl students who have completed graduation from any recognized university of the state get assistance ranging from Rs 25 thousand to Rs 50 thousand under the Chief Minister Girl Child (Graduation) Incentive Scheme.
Take advantage of these schemes
If you come from SC, ST, BC or EBC category and are pursuing further studies after 10th, then you can avail the benefit of Post Matric Scholarship (PMS). Under this scheme, education related expenses and other allowances are sent directly to the bank accounts of the students through DBT. Apart from this, financial assistance of up to Rs 2,000 is also given every month to SC and ST students living in Dr. Ambedkar Kalyan Hostel of the state.
Student Credit Card Scheme
Bihar Student Credit Card Scheme is also very helpful for students who are worried about money for higher education. Under this scheme, the government provides education loan up to Rs 4 lakh. The interest rate for general students is 4 percent, whereas girl students and disabled students get this facility at only 1 percent simple interest.
