Suggest more scholarship exams for class 9th and 10th for middle class family

Hey there,

For a Class 9–10 student from a middle-income family, these are worth considering:

1. NMMSS – One of the best government scholarships; selection is through a state-level exam in Class 8, with scholarship continuing from Class 9–12.
2. SOF Olympiads – IMO, ISO, IEO, IGKO etc.; Classes 9–10 are eligible and top performers receive scholarships/awards.
3. NSTSE (Unified Council) – Science/Maths-focused talent exam with scholarships and awards.
4. Unified Cyber Olympiad – Classes 2–10; includes reasoning, mental ability and computers.
5. SOF Academic Excellence Scholarship – 5,000 scholarships for selected students from Classes 1–10 based on performance across Olympiads.
6. SOF Girl Child Scholarship – For academically strong girls from economically weaker families; 300 scholarships of 5,000 are offered for 2026–27.

For a middle-class family, I'd prioritise NMMSS + free/low-cost government scholarships first, then Olympiads.

Thanks
