did my admission in btech this Saturday earlier i was enrolled in bsc where i claimed mahadbt scholarship for 1st yr. And now the current clg asked me to pay full fees as they said i wont get the scholarship for entire course cause i claimed it in bsc 1st yr. Is there any way i can get scholarship?

Hey there,

Yes, there may be a way to get MahaDBT assistance for your B.Tech, but your college's statement that you automatically lose the scholarship for the entire B.Tech because you used it for 1st-year B.Sc. is too broad.

MahaDBT rules differ by scheme/category. For some schemes, changing from a non-professional course (such as B.Sc.) to a professional/technical course (such as B.Tech) is specifically allowed.

Also, MahaDBT's guidelines explicitly address a student who changes course after receiving a scholarship and provide a process for updating the current course details.

For example, the current EBC/EWS-type fee reimbursement scheme for professional/technical courses can cover eligible Maharashtra-domicile students admitted through CAP, subject to income and other conditions.

Thanks
