Students belonging to the Scheduled Castes (SC) can now apply for the state government’s foreign scholarship scheme for higher studies in a post-graduation (PG) course other than the faculty they completed their graduation in.
The department said that the University Grants Commission (UGC), too, allows students to apply for postgraduate courses for specialisation in streams other than the ones students opted for their graduation.
In another decision, the minister has extended the age limit for students to apply for the scholarship. Now students, who wish to apply for the foreign scholarship, can avail the benefit up to 35-year age for PG and up to 40 years for PhD.
The department has invited applications who are aspiring to study further in foreign countries. However, students will have to apply before August 14, 2020 said Munde. Keeping the Covid-19 situation in mind, the department has also allowed online application instead of physical submission of the application.
