Hello aspirant, hope you're having a a great day. So, the INSPIRE program is mainly for students who are really good in science, and it’s managed by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. For Class 12 students, the award you're probably referring to is the INSPIRE Scholarship for Higher Education (SHE). If you’re in the top 1% of your Class 12 board exams or if you have a really good rank in exams like JEE Advanced (top 10,000), or if you qualified NTSE, KVPY, or international science olympiads, then you might be eligible. But the scholarship is only for students who go into pure science fields after Class 12: like B.Sc. in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Maths. It doesn't apply to engineering or medical courses. The scholarship gives Rupees 5,000 per month and also Rupees 20,000 extra every year for summer research projects. The application usually happens online, and many colleges help with that process once your admission is confirmed. So if you're going for a B.Sc. or similar course and your marks or ranks match the criteria, there’s definitely a chance you can get the INSPIRE scholarship. Make sure to check the official portal when applications open. Hope this helps you get an idea. All the best for your future in science!
