The Post-Graduate Scholarship for University Rank Holders supports first and second rank holders at the post-graduate level in Indian universities. It aims to encourage top-performing students to continue higher education by providing financial assistance. The scholarship recognizes academic excellence and helps reduce financial barriers for meritorious candidates pursuing post-graduate studies across disciplines.

This scholarship is open to Indian students who have secured first or second rank in their post-graduate examinations from any recognized Indian university. Applicants must be below the age of 30 years. There is no income limit, but candidates must be pursuing full-time post-graduate courses. Students from all categories—General, SC, ST, OBC, EBC, EWS, PwD, and DNT—are eligible to apply.

Register on the portal, fill in the required details, and upload necessary documents such as mark sheets, university rank certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), and income certificate. Submit the application before the deadline mentioned on the portal. After submission, take a printout of the application for future reference.
