Post Matric Merit Scholarship, Mizoram 2026‑27

The Post Matric Merit Scholarship is a state scholarship run by the Mizoram Scholarship Board, Government of Mizoram. It is for permanent residents of Mizoram who secure 60% marks in the Board or University examination. The state funds it entirely from the State Plan Fund.

Do not mix this up with the Post-Matric Scholarship for Scheduled Tribe students. That scheme is applied for online, and its funding is shared 90:10 between the Ministry of Tribal Affairs and Mizoram.

This scheme works differently. You apply on paper. The Board posts its scholarship application forms as PDFs. Fill in the form, attach your documents and send them to the Board.

What you get

The official notice gives no rupee amount for this scheme. It says only that the state funds it fully. Ask the Board for the current award before you plan fees and hostel costs. The notice I could read dates from 2019-20, so the amount may have changed since then.

Who can apply

• Permanent residents of Mizoram.
• Students who scored at least 60% in their last Board or University examination.
• Caste or tribe: the notice does not limit the scheme to any group. Some listing websites describe it as only for Scheduled Tribe students, so check the form with the Board.
• Family income: the notice sets no income limit.
• Course and institution: the notice does not list which classes or courses qualify.
• Age: the notice sets no age limit.
• Who cannot apply: the notice lists no exclusions for this scheme.

How to apply

1. Open the scholarship forms page on the official Mizoram Scholarship Board website and download the Post Matric Merit Scholarship application form.
2. Fill in the form in full and attach the documents listed below.
3. Send the completed form and documents to the Mizoram Scholarship Board. The Board verifies the form and documents.

Documents you need

How students are selected

The notices I could read do not explain how the Board ranks applicants. They do say that sending an application does not guarantee an award.

Important dates

The 2019-20 notice says applications normally open during July to September. The latest official cycle I found is 2024-25. The Board’s page for that year’s forms shows a posting date of 16 August 2024. I found no official notice with 2026-27 dates, so this page gives no 2026-27 last date. Some listing websites show deadlines for this scheme. They are not official, so confirm with the Board before you apply.

The 2019-20 notice also carries a note that the scheme was under revision and not yet open. Later Board postings show forms for 2024-25, so ask the Board to confirm that applications are open for 2026-27.
