This page covers the post-matric scholarship for BC students in Haryana. The central scheme calls the same group OBC, EBC and DNT students. It is a centrally sponsored scheme, and the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment runs it under the PM-YASASVI umbrella. Haryana’s SC and BC welfare department invites applications for it in the state.
It pays an academic allowance of Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 20,000 a year, based on the course group your course falls in. Applicants must belong to an OBC, EBC or DNT group and must be permanently settled in the state where they claim it.
The central guideline text used for this page covers 2021-22 to 2025-26. The official pages do not give the Haryana dates for 2026-27 or the amount for each course group, so confirm both on the portal before you apply.
What you get
The allowance depends on which of four course groups your course falls in. Group 3 covers graduate and postgraduate courses outside Groups 1 and 2, such as BA, B.Sc, B.Com, MA, M.Sc and M.Com. Group 4 covers non-degree courses that take Class X as entry, including Class XI and XII.
The official pages used here do not give the rupee amount for each group, so ask the portal notice for the figure for your group.
Who can apply
- Indian nationals who belong to an OBC, EBC or DNT group notified for their state or UT.
- Students who are permanently settled in the state where their group is notified, and who have passed matriculation, higher secondary or a higher examination from a recognised board or university.
- Students in a recognised post-matric or post-secondary course at a recognised institution, for studies in India only.
- Families with an income of Rs. 2,50,000 a year or less from all sources. The central guideline sets this limit for the pre-matric part, and the post-matric limit is not in the official pages used here, so confirm it.
- Correspondence or online students of courses at Central or State universities are listed as eligible. Check the portal for the allowance rules that apply to them.
The following students cannot apply:

- Students who finish one professional line and then enter another, such as LLB after B.Ed.
The official pages used here do not set an age limit.
