A scholar can enjoy additional concessions offered by the school or other organisations while receiving this scholarship. The scholarship will be renewed for one year upon successful completion of Class 11. Renewal is contingent on the student’s promotion to the next class and maintaining a minimum of 50% marks in aggregate. (Representative/File Photo)
If a scholar switches courses, changes schools, or discontinues their current course of study before completion, the renewal of the scholarship will require prior approval from the board. Continuation of the scholarship also depends on the student’s good conduct and regular attendance. (Representative/File Photo)
