How Scholarship Eligibility Is Determined

This checker screens your profile - academic percentage, family income, category, course level, state, gender and any sports/extra-curricular achievements - against the published eligibility rules of major Indian government and institutional scholarships. It does not plan your finances; for budgeting tuition, hostel fees and loan EMIs, use the separate College Fees Planner.

How Eligibility Is Checked

  1. Each scholarship scheme (NSP, Merit-cum-Means, INSPIRE, Pragati for girls, EWS, PWD, sports, PG/PhD fellowships, state schemes) has its own minimum percentage and maximum family income rules.
  2. Your entered percentage, income, category, course level, gender and achievements are checked against every scheme's rules.
  3. Every scheme you qualify for is added to your results along with its typical yearly amount, provider and application deadline.
  4. The total potential amount is the sum of the yearly amounts of every scheme you are eligible for.

Scholarship Eligibility Checker - Frequently Asked Questions

What factors decide scholarship eligibility?

Most Indian scholarships use a combination of academic percentage, annual family income, social category (General/OBC/SC/ST/EWS/PWD), course level, state, gender and sometimes sports or extra-curricular achievements.

What is the family income limit for most scholarships?

It varies by scheme - many national scholarships cap eligibility around ₹6-8 lakh annual family income, though some category-specific and merit-based schemes have their own separate limits.

Can I apply for multiple scholarships at the same time?

Yes, in most cases you can apply to several scholarships simultaneously as long as you meet each one's individual eligibility criteria - this calculator lists every scheme you qualify for so you can apply to all of them.

Does this tool guarantee I will receive a scholarship?

No. It only checks your eligibility against each scheme's published criteria. Actual selection may also depend on the number of applicants, budget availability and document verification, so always apply well before the deadline.

Is this the same as the College Fees Planner?

No. This tool only checks which scholarships you may qualify for. To plan your overall education budget, including tuition, hostel costs and loan EMIs after factoring in a scholarship amount, use the College Fees Planner.
