A Class 10 student who is a permanent resident of Uttarakhand, scored 78% in Class 9, and whose family earns ₹60,000 a year in a rural area
Eligible — She is an Uttarakhand permanent resident, has above the 70% mark requirement, and her rural family income is below the ₹72,000 limit — all stated conditions are met.
An SC student in Class 12 in Uttarakhand who scored 63% in Class 11 and studies in a recognized college
Eligible — The minimum mark requirement is relaxed to 60% for SC/ST students, so 63% qualifies, and she meets the residency and institution conditions.
A general-category student in Uttarakhand who scored 66% in the previous class
Not eligible — For general-category students the minimum requirement is 70% in the previous class; 66% falls short of that stated cut-off.
A student studying in Uttarakhand whose urban family income is ₹1.2 lakh per year
Not eligible — The urban family-income ceiling is ₹96,000; at ₹1.2 lakh the family exceeds the stated income limit.

Common Mistakes — Why UK Medhavi Chhatra Yojana Applications Get Rejected
- ✗Submitting an application without the previous class marksheet showing the required 70% (or 60% for SC/ST), which is mandatory proof of merit.
- ✗Providing an income certificate above the stated ceilings — ₹72,000 for rural or ₹96,000 for urban families — leading to rejection.
- ✗Missing the Uttarakhand domicile/residence certificate, so permanent-resident status cannot be verified.
- ✗Giving a bank account that is not Aadhaar-linked, which blocks the DBT scholarship credit.
- ✗Skipping the school/college bonafide certificate, leaving the institution unable to verify the student's enrolment.
Insider Tips for UK Medhavi Chhatra Yojana
- →Apply only on the official portal scholarships.uk.gov.in — registration is free and you should never pay an agent.
- →Verify your account with Aadhaar OTP first; a working Aadhaar-linked mobile number speeds up registration and later DBT credit.
- →Keep the previous class marksheet, income certificate and bonafide certificate scanned and ready before you start, to avoid mid-form drop-offs.
- →Ensure the name on Aadhaar, the bank passbook and your certificates matches, since mismatches commonly stall verification.
- →Complete the school/college verification step promptly — the scholarship is approved only after the institution verifies your details.
