Mukhyamantri Medhavritti Yojana (Bihar)

About this scholarship

The Mukhyamantri Medhavritti Yojana is a highly specific merit-based incentive scheme run by the Government of Bihar, designed to reward outstanding academic performance among girl students from marginalized communities. While the Kanya Utthan Yojana provides a universal incentive for simply passing graduation or Class 12, the Medhavritti scheme specifically targets SC and ST girl students who have secured a First or Second Division in their Class 12 (Intermediate) board examinations. It provides a fixed, one-time cash reward to encourage these young women to pursue higher education. Operated through the state's Medhasoft e-Kalyan portal, the application process is heavily automated; the state board uploads the list of eligible students based on their exam results, and the students simply need to log in, verify their details, and provide their bank information. This scheme serves as an additional layer of financial empowerment for SC/ST girls, ensuring that high academic achievement translates into immediate financial support for their college transition.

Documents you need

• Class 12 (Intermediate) marksheet showing 1st or 2nd division
• Caste certificate (SC/ST)
• Aadhaar card
• Bank passbook in the girl's name
• BSEB Registration Number

How to apply

1. Visit the Medhasoft e-Kalyan portal (medhasoft.bih.nic.in) and look for the Mukhyamantri Medhavritti Yojana link for the current passing year.
2. Check your name in the official list of eligible students published on the portal using your board roll number.
3. Log in, verify your demographic details, and update your Aadhaar-linked bank account information to initiate the direct benefit transfer.

Why applications get rejected

• Failing to ensure that the name on the Aadhaar card matches the name on the BSEB board marksheet exactly, which stalls the automated payment process.
• Providing a bank account that has a deposit limit (like a minor account) which can cause the incentive transfer to bounce.
