The PM Young Achievers Scholarship Award Scheme for Vibrant India (PM YASASVI) is one of the most generous educational initiatives by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. Designed specifically for students from marginalized backgrounds, it provides direct financial assistance to cover tuition fees and hostel charges.

For the 2026 academic year, the application process is hosted on the National Scholarship Portal (NSP), and selection is heavily based on merit and strict income criteria. Students studying in Class 9 and Class 11 in identified top schools across India can receive up to Rs. 1,25,000 per annum. Let's verify your exact eligibility using the official constraints.

1. Scholarship Amounts (Class 9 vs Class 11)

The scholarship amount varies based on the student's current grade level to accurately cover the escalating costs of higher secondary education:

• Class 9 & 10 Students: Eligible for up to Rs. 75,000 per annum.
• Class 11 & 12 Students: Eligible for up to Rs. 1,25,000 per annum.

Note: The scholarship covers actual tuition fee and hostel charges. The amount disbursed will be the maximum limit or the actual fee, whichever is lower.

2. How to Apply Online (NSP Portal)

In 2026, the application process for the PM YASASVI scheme is handled entirely online. You must gather your documents and apply before the deadline:

1. Visit the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) at scholarships.gov.in.

3. The NTA YET Entrance Exam

Traditionally, selection was based on the YASASVI Entrance Test (YET) conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). However, the government periodically updates whether selection is based on the exam merit or simply Class 8/10 marks. For 2026, students must regularly check the yet.nta.ac.in portal for syllabus updates and exam date announcements to ensure they do not miss the merit list cutoff.
