State-level Post Matric Scholarship in Maharashtra (MahaDBT)

The MahaDBT Post Matric Scholarship is a comprehensive financial assistance initiative by the Government of Maharashtra designed to support students from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Managed through the Aaple Sarkar DBT portal, the scheme provides tuition fees, examination fees, and maintenance allowances to eligible students pursuing higher education, including vocational, professional, and technical courses. It covers various categories such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, and Economically Weaker Sections. The program aims to reduce dropout rates in higher education by alleviating the financial burden on students. Eligibility is primarily based on domicile in Maharashtra, family income limits per annum, and adherence to specific academic criteria defined by various state departments including Higher Education and Social Justice.
