For the general students the Jr. Merit(+2 Course), Sr. Merit(+3 course) and PG merit scholarships are available. Similarly Engineering/MBBS/BDS & students of other professional courses can also apply for availing this opportunity as per the norms.
Special girls' merit scholarship for Technical and Professional courses will also be awarded to female students, Panigrahi said adding that a total of 24, 544 students will be benefited from the scheme this year.
