While this crazy world is busy getting manifested with Dhinchak Pooja songs, KRK critic reviews, and “chai pee lo” wali aunty, earning the title of an NTSE scholar is a real thing of pride.
Apart from the attractive scholarship, there are several other benefits of being an NTSE Scholar that you can enjoy throughout your life.
Quite obvious, if something is that valuable it won’t be easily achievable. Every year more than 3 lakh students test themselves of which only an elite 1000 end up as NTSE scholars.
With a motive to test the aptitude of students in Class 10, NTSE is conducted and a scholarship of INR 1250/month is given from class 11th which changes once you get to college. For professional courses like engineering or medicine, an NTSE scholar can avail of these scholarships until post-graduation.
NTSE Scholar Advantages
A monthly scholarship of Rs 1250 is given to NTSE scholars for pursuing science, social science, humanities, fine arts, languages, commerce, or vocational studies in classes 11 and 12. The scholarship amount is increased to Rs 2000 per month at the undergraduate level. The scholarship for Ph.D. programs is as per the UGC standards.
Being an NTSE scholar also instills confidence to crack various competitive exams that you need to take in class 12. Below are a few benefits of being an NTSE Scholar –
