Greetings! Here's a detailed response to your query
1. Government Scholarship-
Your own state government also has scholarship programs. If you got good marks in your 12th-grade exams (your IPE) and you want to study further in your state (like Telangana or Andhra Pradesh), check what they offer. Andhra Pradesh, for example, used to have something called the Jnanabhumi Scholarship.
There's another scholarship called NMMS, but that's mostly for students in classes 9 to 12. However, sometimes they might look at how you did in your 10th-grade exams, which is sort of the base for how you did in your IPE later on, for some extra help.
So, the main idea is that if you scored well in your 12th grade and your family's income isn't too high, there are government scholarships at both the national and state levels that could help you pay for your college studies. Make sure to check the specific rules for each one to see if you qualify.
2. Private Scholarships- Besides the government, there are also non-government groups that give money for studies. For instance, the North-South Foundation gives scholarships if you got at least around 85% in your 12th grade and are heading to college.
Big companies like Reliance also have scholarships, and they might look at your 12th-grade marks too. Even banks like HDFC have programs to help students facing tough times, and your good marks in 12th could be something they consider.
Loads of other smaller groups, charities, and companies also offer scholarships based on how well you did in your 12th-grade exams. You'll need to do some digging to find these. Websites like Buddy4Study and Vidhyaa.in are like online sites where you can look for these kinds of private scholarships. So, apart from the government, keep an eye out for these private options as well – they could be another way to get help with your college costs.
College Scholarships - Many colleges and universities offer their own merit-based scholarships to students based on their entrance exam scores as well as their marks in the qualifying examinations like IPE. When you are applying to colleges, be sure to check their scholarship or financial aid sections on their websites.
I hope this helps.
