The CBSE has started two merit-based scholarships for professional studies (medical and engineering) and another for undergraduate studies (non-medical and non-engineering). These scholarships are self-selective. Meritorious students of the AIPMT/AIEEE and Class XII public examinations, conducted by the board 2005 onwards, will be automatically considered. They would be valid for any other scholarship or benefit as well. A total of 500 scholarships a year (2,000 annually after four years), each worth Rs 1,000 per month, would be awarded for four years to those pursuing medical/engineering courses in the institutes participating in the CBS-conducted AIPMT/AIEE examinations or the Union government-controlled/aided institutes. In addition, 550 scholarships a year (1,650 annually after three years), each worth Rs 500 per month, would be awarded to candidates pursuing non-medical and non-engineering courses.
