The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has received over 13,000 applications for the ‘meritorious students’ category. Out of the total applications, 9653 students of Class 10 have applied for the municipal scholarship under the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad scheme, while 3236 applications are from Class 12 students.
It must be noted that PMC offers scholarships worth Rs 15,000 for SSC students and Rs 25,000 for HSC students.
Scholarship Application Timeline
PMC seeks applications online for the scholarships in September post which the scrutiny takes place, while the scholarships are awarded in December and January.
This year, PMC had extended the deadline a little, as many students were not able to submit their applications in time. This helped in getting a greater number of student applicants for the scholarship.
