How to compare category-based schemes
StudyDesk never infers a student's category. Filters only help discovery; the issuing authority and scholarship provider decide final eligibility.
- Start with the exact category named on your valid certificate; SC, ST, OBC, EBC and DNT schemes are not interchangeable.
- Check whether the scheme is pre-matric, post-matric, top-class education, coaching, fellowship or overseas support.
- Verify the income ceiling and the competent authority required for the certificate.
- Look for central and state options, but check whether holding two awards at the same time is permitted.
Before submitting any application
Open the official terms for the current cycle and check the deadline, application route and required documents one final time. Save a copy of the submitted form or acknowledgement. If the provider changes a deadline or status, the canonical StudyDesk guide should be updated rather than creating a duplicate page.
Sources & verification
Scholarship status is checked against government/provider sources. Open, closed, renewal-only and not-yet-opened schemes are kept separate.
