Who can apply? — Eligibility checklist (short)
Primary requirement: Permanent resident of Gujarat. Beyond residency, individual scheme rules (category, income ceiling, academic level) apply. Key common points:
- Must belong to the target category of the scheme (SC / ST / OBC / SEBC / Minority / EBC / NTDNT etc.).
- Family income limits vary by scheme (typical ceilings: ₹1,00,000 to ₹2,50,000 p.a. for many schemes; some schemes permit higher ceilings like Mukhyamantri Yuva Swavalamban Yojana).
- The scholarship-specific academic level (e.g., post-SSC, post-matric, UG, PG, M.Phil/PhD) must match the applicant’s current course.
- Applicants must not be repeaters beyond allowed limits where specified (check individual scheme rules).
