They include PM-Vidyalaxmi, the Bihar Student Credit Card Scheme and a concessional education loan scheme of NDFDC for students with disabilities. The NSP, the Delhi government e-District and Jharkhand's e-Kalyan portals are listed for post-matric and merit-cum-means schemes. Each scheme sets its own rules, so read them on the scheme's portal.

When Should I Apply for the JMI Scholarship?

Apply for the JMI scholarship within a few weeks of the DSW call, because the window is short. The Kalam call of 22 December 2025 gave about five weeks. The Mushirul Hasan call of 20 August 2025 gave nearly four. Watch the JMI notices page and the DSW scholarship page each term, since JMI posts no fixed calendar.

The Kalam Scholarship needs nine documents, all self-attested. Keep these JMI scholarship documents ready before the call opens.

• Application forwarded by your Dean, Head of Department or Director of Centre
• A write-up of not more than 300 words on why you need the scholarship
• University identity card for the session
• Annual fee slip for the session
• Aadhaar card
• Family or parent income certificate from a competent authority
• Death certificate of mother or father, in case of death
• Mark-sheet of the last examination passed
• Bank details: name, account number and IFSC code

The PG Merit-cum-Means form asks for an ID card, latest fee slip or bonafide certificate, an income certificate, a death certificate where it applies, and the last mark-sheet.

The JMI scholarship selection process uses an administering committee for the Mushirul Hasan fellows, and it ties the Kalam Scholarship to need, attendance and conduct. The Kalam notice does not describe a test. It says the award runs for one year and may continue if your academic record and conduct stay satisfactory. You must apply again each year.
