The Gyan Sadhana Scholarship Scheme, launched by the Gujarat government, is a financial aid scheme which aims to support meritorious students from economically weaker backgrounds. It will be difficult for you to get a scholarship with 59% in Gyan Sadhana exam on the basis of the statistics of the latest exam for 2024-2025 .

Here's Why

1. Competitive Exam is Must: Gyan Sadhana Scholarship is ideally applicable on the basis of one Competitive Test conducted by the State Examination Board, Gandhinagar. Other prerequisites exist, but the exam score is key for selection.
2. Selection on Merit: The program is explicitly described as a “ merit-based project .” It implies that students with merit rank based on performance in competitive exams are selected.
3. Cut-off Marks: Though, the cut-off can differ every year relying on the number of candidates and their performance, the available data for the CGMS (Chief Minister Gyan Sadhana Merit Scholarship) 2025 examination is 60 for the general category . The average cut-off would be 59%, so the 59% value should be below cut-off.
4. Other Eligibility Conditions : In addition to the examination, candidates must belong to Gujarat and must be studying in 9th to 12th classes in Government, Government aided or local Bodied schools , and should also satisfy other family income conditions (such as, not exceeding annual income of the family is Rs. 1.2 lakh in Rural and Rs. 1.5 lakh in Urban areas). Minimum 80% attendance is compulsory as well.

Hence, even if your percentage of 59% fulfils few normal academic needs, you can very hardly get the Gyan Sadhna Scholarship without having a score above the competitive cut-off. Merit for the selection is based the performance in the examination.
