In order to motivate students and bring interest of studying in students, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, has announced to reward class 12 students with financial benefits in their undergraduate degree if they score more than 75%.
According to the state chief minister’s announcement, the state government will now cover the engineering and/or medical college fees of students who achieve more than 75% in their class 12 exams.
Previously rewarded the 12th students with laptops
“I already give laptops to students who scored more than 75% in their 12th standard exams. Now, I will also bear the fees of medical college, engineering college, IIT and law college,” he was quoted.
This announcement of scholarship/ financial rewards comes a few days after the National Testing Agency (NTA) recently restored the class 12 performance criterion of 75 per cent for qualifying JEE Main 2023.
The NTA recently announced that admissions to BE / BTech / BArch / BPlanning courses in NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs “will be based on All India Rank subject to the condition that the candidate should have secured at least 75% marks in the Class 12 examination conducted by the respective Boards,” according to an NTA brochure.
In addition, the CM announced that the state government has decided to build playgrounds in 110 villages. His administration has also created tens of thousands of new government jobs, which he claims are being filled.
