PM YASASVI Scholarship Scheme

Introduction

The PM YASASVI Scholarship Scheme is a program by the Government of India that helps students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. It’s specifically for those students who belong to OBC, Nomadic and Semi-Nomadic Tribes, and DNT. This scholarship is for students who are currently studying in 9th and 11th grade and need money to keep going to school. It’s a good chance for them to follow their dreams without worrying about finances.

The PM YASASVI Scholarship Scheme selects meritorious students through a test called the YASASVI Entrance Test (YET) which is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The test is for students in Class IX and Class XI, and it helps select students who deserve scholarship awards. The test has multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in subjects like Mathematics, Science, Social Science, and General Awareness/Knowledge.
