दिव्यांग छात्रों के लिए स्कॉलरशिप: क्या मौजूद है और क्या चाहिए

The document everything depends on

A disability certificate issued by a competent medical authority, stating your percentage of disability. Most schemes require 40% or more. A UDID card is increasingly asked for as well, so if you do not have one, start that application alongside.

What exists

- Pre-matric and post-matric scholarships for students with disabilities, run through the National Scholarship Portal
- Top-class education scholarships for students with disabilities in selected institutions
- AICTE Saksham, ₹50,000 a year for AICTE-approved technical degree and diploma courses
- State schemes, which often add their own support on top

What to check on each scheme

- The minimum disability percentage
- Whether a UDID card is mandatory or a certificate is enough
- The income limit, which differs from the general schemes in some cases

A practical note

Getting or renewing a disability certificate can take time and repeat visits. If yours is close to expiry, renew it before the scholarship season rather than during it.
