In the 2026 academic landscape, scholarships for technical and pharmacy programs act as a critical financial bridge, ensuring that merit and social equity are prioritized over financial background. The Post-Matric Scholarship scheme is a flagship initiative by the Government of India, specifically designed for students belonging to SC, ST, and OBC categories. These scholarships are generally "reimbursement-based," meaning the government covers a significant portion, or sometimes the entirety, of the tuition fees and provides a monthly maintenance allowance directly to the student's bank account via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
For students from Odisha, Haryana, or Delhi NCR, these scholarships are managed through state-specific portals like PRERANA or the National Scholarship Portal (NSP). To qualify, the primary criterion is the family's annual income, which typically must be below ₹2.5 Lakhs for SC/ST candidates and ₹1 Lakh to ₹1.5 Lakhs for OBC candidates, depending on specific state mandates. This support system ensures that students from marginalized sections can pursue high-cost professional courses like B.Pharma or Aeronautical Engineering without the burden of heavy education loans.
Beyond government aid, Puran Murti Campus provides Institutional Merit-Based Grants to reward academic excellence. These grants are awarded to students who have demonstrated exceptional performance in their 10+2 board examinations. Typically, students scoring above 90% aggregate in their boards may receive a significant waiver on their first-year tuition fees. This internal grant system is designed to attract top-tier talent to the campus, creating a competitive and high-achieving academic environment where hard work is recognized and financially rewarded by the management.
The application process for these financial aids is strictly digitized in 2026 to ensure transparency and speed. Students are required to submit a set of authenticated documents, including a Caste Certificate, Income Certificate issued by a Tehsildar or Gazetted Officer, and their previous year's marksheet. The institute’s dedicated scholarship cell assists students in navigating these portals, ensuring that every eligible candidate meets the submission deadlines, which usually fall between August and October for the current academic session.
Finally, the sustainability of these scholarships often depends on the student’s ongoing performance. While government scholarships usually require a simple pass in the annual exams, institutional merit grants may require the student to maintain a specific CGPA (often 7.5 or above) and a minimum attendance of 75% to carry the benefit forward into the second, third, and fourth years. This dual system of "need-based" government aid and "merit-based" institutional grants ensures that a wide spectrum of students can access quality technical education at a reduced cost.
