Does meeting the eligibility criteria guarantee selection?

Does meeting the eligibility criteria guarantee selection?

No. Meeting the eligibility criteria only makes a student eligible to apply, it does not guarantee selection. The scholarship receives a large volume of applications each year, and final selection is determined by a combination of factors, including merit, applicable reservation criteria, successful document verification, comparative ranking among applicants, and the number of scholarship slots available in each category.

How are eligible applicants compared?

Because the scholarship receives a large number of applications, applicants are assessed through a competitive ranking framework based on the selection criteria defined for their category. Selection is finalized only after successful verification, and the decision of the scholarship committee in this regard is final and binding on all applicants.
