Hyderabad: In a big boost to undergraduate students across ten districts, the Telangana government has announced cash incentives for their higher studies at reputed national institutions.
All those final-year degree students, who manage to get entry into PG courses at IITs, NITs, Central Universities etc. will now be given Rs 50,000 each year, for their two-year study. But this scheme will be applicable to final-year students (B.A/B.Com/B.Sc courses) studying only in government degree colleges.
This incentive is independent of any other scholarship or grant or prize that a student secures. And to be eligible, the student should have passed the final-year exams (2015-16) from any government degree college.
The Telangana government accorded a sum of Rs 10 lakh to Commissioner of Collegiate Education to be used for this scheme. A. Vani Prasad, the Commissioner of collegiate education said the incentives will be applicable to all government college students, irrespective of financial background or community.
