What is Bihar Balika Protsahan (Intermediate)?
The Intermediate variant of Bihar's Mukhyamantri Balika Protsahan Yojana is a completely separate incentive paid at a DIFFERENT stage of a girl student's education than the Matric variant — it is claimed only AFTER passing Class 12 (Intermediate) from the Bihar School Examination Board, and pays a single **₹25,000 lump sum**, more than double the Matric-stage ₹10,000. The higher amount reflects the specific policy priority: Bihar's female dropout rate spikes between Class 12 and undergraduate admission, and ₹25,000 is calibrated to cover roughly one semester of a Bihar state university BA/BSc course including hostel or transport. Around 4 lakh Bihar girls receive this Intermediate-stage incentive each year (versus 10 lakh at Matric stage — the funnel narrows sharply between the two stages, which is exactly what this scheme's larger amount tries to counter). Applications flow through medhasoft.bih.nic.in under the Bihar Education Department. Payment via DBT to the girl student's own Aadhaar-linked account — not the parent's.
