Dear Aspirant

To understand whether a student from Kendriya Vidyalaya is eligible for full fee reimbursement through TS EAMCET in Telangana, it is important to first know how the government classifies schools for the purpose of scholarships and reimbursements under the state education policy. Fee reimbursement is a benefit offered to eligible students pursuing professional courses like engineering and pharmacy through TS EAMCET, subject to fulfilling certain criteria laid down by the Telangana State Council of Higher Education and welfare departments.

Kendriya Vidyalaya is a system of central government schools established and run by the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. These schools are fully owned and operated by the central government and are not private institutions. They primarily cater to the children of central government employees but also admit other students as per available seats.

In Telangana, for a student to be eligible for full tuition fee reimbursement through TS EAMCET, the student must meet the following conditions:

• The student must have completed intermediate or equivalent education from a government or government-aided institution

• The student’s parental annual income must be below the limit specified by the state government (usually around two lakh for most categories)

• The student must be a resident of Telangana and possess a valid domicile certificate

• The student must have secured a seat in a college through the TS EAMCET counselling process

• The student must belong to an eligible category which includes SC, ST, BC, EBC, Minority, or disabled groups

Since Kendriya Vidyalayas are recognized as central government institutions and are publicly funded, they are considered under the “government school” category. Therefore, students who have studied in Kendriya Vidyalayas are treated as government school students when applying for fee reimbursement under Telangana’s schemes.

This means a student who completed their intermediate education in a Kendriya Vidyalaya located in Telangana and satisfies all other requirements such as income criteria and category status can receive full tuition fee reimbursement if they gain admission into an eligible TS EAMCET engineering or pharmacy college.

The process of applying for fee reimbursement involves:

• Participating in TS EAMCET counselling and confirming admission in an approved college

• Submitting necessary documents such as income certificate, caste certificate, intermediate marks memo, residence certificate, and study certificate from Kendriya Vidyalaya during the verification process

• Applying through the Telangana ePass portal or relevant platform for fee reimbursement with correct details and uploading all required documents

If any discrepancies are found, such as the absence of proof that the student studied in a government or government-aided school, the application may be rejected. Hence, it is crucial to obtain a study certificate from Kendriya Vidyalaya clearly indicating the years of study and confirming the school’s affiliation with the central government.

It is also advised to consult with the college or the helpline provided during TS EAMCET counselling to ensure all documentation aligns with the latest norms. Students should keep photocopies of all documents and receipts submitted for future reference or audit.

Conclusion
Yes, Kendriya Vidyalaya is considered a government school for the purpose of TS EAMCET full fee reimbursement. If you meet all other eligibility criteria like income limit, residential status, and category requirement, you will be eligible for the full fee benefit even if you studied in a Kendriya Vidyalaya.
