What is the Mukhyamantri Medhavi Chhatra Protsahan Scholarship Scheme?
Mukhyamantri Medhavi Chhatra Protsahan Scholarship Scheme is a merit-incentive programme of the Department of Secondary Education, Government of Uttarakhand. This guide covers the secondary level; Class 11 and 12. According to the scheme, it "encourages academic excellence among students entering Classes 11 and 12 by providing financial assistance to meritorious students."
Mukhyamantri Medhavi Chhatra Protsahan Scholarship Scheme rewards students who did well in the Class 10 Board examination and then continued into higher secondary study. The idea is to keep bright students in school and motivate them with a monthly incentive during Classes 11 and 12; families often search for it by its transliterated name, Mukhyamantri Medhavi Chhatra Protsahan Yojana. The secondary-level incentive is reported at around Rs 1,200 per month; because amounts differ by level and are revised from time to time, treat this as the reported figure and confirm the current rate with your school or the Secondary Education Department.
The incentive is paid by Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), so there is no cash handling and no middleman. Programme summaries note the transfer is made to the student's Aadhaar-linked account or, where the student is a minor without an account, to a parent's account, which is why keeping the receiving account active and correctly seeded is the single most important practical step once a student qualifies on merit.
Who is eligible for the scholarship?
Students who can qualify (Class 11–12 level):
- Students who scored at least 80% marks in the Class 10 Uttarakhand Board examination.
- Students currently enrolled in Class 11 or Class 12 in Uttarakhand.
- Students with an Aadhaar-linked bank account to receive the DBT.
Who cannot apply / is not eligible for this level:
- Students who scored below 80% in the Class 10 Board examination do not qualify for this merit tier.
- Students not enrolled at the secondary level in Uttarakhand.
- Students without a valid Aadhaar-seeded bank account cannot receive the incentive until the account is corrected.
The scheme is a merit incentive, so the decisive test is the 80% Class 10 result, not family income for this level. Where a domicile requirement applies, keep residence proof ready.
How much does the scholarship provide?
The secondary-level (Class 11–12) incentive is reported at around Rs 1,200 per month, credited by DBT to the student's Aadhaar-linked account. The wider Mukhyamantri Medhavi Chhatra Protsahan initiative rewards merit at higher levels too (undergraduate and postgraduate), each at a different rate under the education departments. Confirm the exact current monthly amount and the number of months paid with your school, because these figures are periodically revised.
How to apply for the scholarship
- Confirm you meet the merit cut-off, at least 80% in the Class 10 Uttarakhand Board examination, and that you are enrolled in Class 11 or 12.
- Approach your school / the Department of Secondary Education and ask for the current Mukhyamantri Medhavi Chhatra Protsahan application form and process; schools are the usual channel for forwarding secondary-level details.
- Submit your documents — Class 10 marksheet showing 80%+, proof of Class 11/12 admission, Aadhaar and an Aadhaar-seeded bank passbook in the student's name.
- Ensure your bank account is Aadhaar-seeded so the DBT incentive can be credited without delay.
- Track the status through your school and, where available, the school education portal, and once approved the monthly incentive is credited.
If an online scholarship portal is notified for the current year, your school will direct you to it; otherwise the application is processed through the school and department.
What documents are required?
| Document | Mandatory | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Class 10 Uttarakhand Board marksheet | Yes | Must show at least 80% |
| Proof of Class 11 admission / Class 12 continuation | Yes | Confirms secondary-level enrolment |
| Aadhaar card | Yes | Identity and bank seeding for DBT |
| Bank account passbook | Yes | Aadhaar-seeded, in the student's name |
| Domicile / residence proof | No | Where an Uttarakhand residence condition applies |
How is the incentive continued and reviewed?
Mukhyamantri Medhavi Chhatra Protsahan Scholarship Scheme is not a one-time payment; the incentive is meant to continue through the secondary stage as long as the student keeps performing. Reported programme conditions require the student to maintain strong marks in the annual examination: commonly cited as at least 60 percent in the previous year's exam, and to keep up regular attendance, often stated as 75 percent or more in the running academic year. A student who qualifies on the Class 10 result therefore has to sustain performance in Class 11 to carry the incentive into Class 12. Because these continuation figures are drawn from programme summaries rather than a single current government order, confirm the exact marks and attendance thresholds with your school before you count on the second year of payment.
The wider Mukhyamantri Medhavi Chhatra Protsahan initiative is often described as covering meritorious students across school and higher stages, with different monthly rates set for different levels. This guide is limited to the secondary level (Class 11 and 12); a student moving on to undergraduate or postgraduate study should ask the relevant education department about the merit incentive that applies at that stage rather than assume the secondary-level rate carries forward.
Key dates and grievance route
Mukhyamantri Medhavi Chhatra Protsahan Scholarship Scheme is tied to the Class 10 Uttarakhand Board result, so the practical timeline starts when those results are declared and students take admission in Class 11. There is no single fixed last date published for the secondary level; the school collects and forwards eligible students' details to the Department of Secondary Education, which makes the school the correct first point of contact for the current-year window. If a payment is delayed or missed after approval, first check that the bank account is Aadhaar-seeded and active, then raise the matter with the school and the district education office. For grievances that are not resolved locally, the Uttarakhand CM Helpline on 1905 and the state portals at schooleducation.uk.gov.in are the escalation routes.
Common reasons an application is rejected and how to fix them
- Below the 80% cut-off: the Class 11–12 merit tier is only for students who scored 80% or more in Class 10.
- Bank account not Aadhaar-seeded: seed the account so the DBT credit can reach the student.
- Name mismatch between the marksheet, Aadhaar and bank record: correct the details before re-submitting.
- Missing admission proof: attach proof that the student is enrolled in Class 11 or 12.
Where to check status and get help
For the Class 11–12 Mukhyamantri Medhavi Chhatra Protsahan incentive, your school and the Department of Secondary Education, Government of Uttarakhand are the correct points of contact for forms, eligibility and status. Use the state school education portal at schooleducation.uk.gov.in to reach the department's pages. Because the exact monthly amount and any current-year application portal are revised periodically, confirm both with your school before applying. The scholarship is free to apply for: never pay an agent to secure a merit incentive.
