Managed via the MahaDBT portal, this scheme aims to reduce the dropout rate of students from economically weaker backgrounds by covering their educational expenses. Eligible students receive a reimbursement of tuition fees, exam fees, and a maintenance allowance depending on their course of study and whether they are day scholars or hostellers.
