How Scholarship Eligibility Calculator Works?
Check your eligibility for scholarships based on family income, academic performance, category, and domicile.
Enter your annual family income to check against income eligibility thresholds for various scholarship schemes.
Enter your academic percentage to assess merit-based eligibility criteria.
Select your category (General, OBC, SC/ST, or EWS) as many scholarships have category-specific criteria and relaxed cutoffs.
Indicate whether you have a state domicile certificate, which is required for state-level scholarship schemes.
The calculator evaluates your inputs against common scholarship criteria and provides eligibility status for income, merit, and category-based schemes along with a personalized recommendation.
This calculator checks against general eligibility criteria. Actual scholarship requirements vary by scheme and year. Always verify on the National Scholarship Portal (scholarships.gov.in) and apply before deadlines.
