The institution will select eligible OBC/EBC/DNT students based on merit as per the entrance examination merit list.
Note:-
- As the fund is majorly earmarked for OBC, preference would be given to the OBC students while considering under the scheme.
- If the institution finds that the number of eligible candidates in the first year is less than the number of slots allotted to it, then the remaining slots may be offered to eligible students studying in the second, third and fourth years based on their previous year's inter-se merit. Priority will be given to those who have more number of years left to complete their respective course. For instance, 2nd-year students will be given preference over 3rd-year students and so on.
- Refer to the criteria of the merit list for the Institutions as per the entrance exam in 'Scholarship Guidelines' under Annexure 1.
