However, this scheme would allow the students of the BC and Dalit Communities studying in government who score over and above 70% in the SSC examinations to avail this beneficiary scheme of studying for free in corporate colleges of the state.

The HRD minister, Ganta Srinivasa Rao, mentioned that this is an initiative is being taken by the state government by joining hands with the HRD ministry in order to uplift the students from minor backgrounds. However, the ministry is expecting a very large number of applicants and the total number of students who are eligible for this scheme are around 1.7 lakh.
