The scholarship will be renewed for one year upon successfully completing Class 11, contingent on the student’s promotion to the next class and maintaining a minimum of 50% marks in aggregate.
If a scholar changes courses, switches schools, or discontinues their current course of study before completion, the renewal of the scholarship will require prior approval from the board. The continuation of the scholarship also depends on the student’s good conduct and regular attendance.
