Claim: For pre-matric scholarship for OBCs, the rates of scholarship increased substantially. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-05-01): The objective of the scheme is to provide financial assistance to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribe students studying at post-matriculation or post-secondary stages to enable them to complete their education. The income ceiling of parents/guardian has recently been enhanced from Rs. 2,00,000/- p.a. to Rs. 2,50,000/- p.a. The Government of India bears the entire expenditure beyond the committed liability which is to be borne by the State Government. The committed liability of the State Government is equal to the sum total of expenditure incurred during the closing year of the last plan period. Thus, the committed liability of the State Government for the year 2012-13 shall be equal to the total expenditure incurred under each of the schemes (Post-Matric Scholarship for SC and Post-Matric Scholarship for ST) during 2011-12, the last year of the 11th Five-Year Plan period. The rates of Post-Matric Scholarship have been revised with effect from 01-07-2010. However, the Government of India has decided that such committed liability shall be decided by calculating the expenditure at the pre-revised rates. The State Government follows the rates fixed by the Government of India. However, in cases of Post-Matric Scholarship for hostellers in Group III & IV are less (Rs. 570/- & Rs.380/- per month respectively) than the rates fixed by the State Government, the State Government pays at higher rates fixed by the State Government (Rs.750/- per month) and the additional burden is borne by the State Government.

Claim: For pre-matric scholarship for OBCs, the rates of scholarship increased substantially. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2020-07-26): -The pre-matric scholarship for the SC category continuously fell between 2015-16 and 2019-20; for OBCs, it either stayed stagnant or increased marginally. The number of students availing fell from 2.4 million in 2015-16 to 2.2 million in 2017-18, an 8.3% fall. [...] The pre-matric scholarship scheme for SC, ST and OBC students was aimed at increasing enrolment from these sections and cutting the increasing drop-out numbers for Classes IX and X. The post-matric scholarship for SC, ST and OBC students was meant to enable them to complete their education. The pre-matric scholarship for SC and OBC categories of students is ‘funds-limited’, that is, it depends on the budget and is not driven by demand. Between 2015-16 and 2019-20, the scholarship allocation for SCs fell continuously from Rs 843 crore to Rs 355 crore, a decline of 58%; and for OBCs, spending on scholarships either stayed stagnant or increased marginally. The number of students availing of the scholarship fell from 2.4 million to 2.2 million in the same period, a decline of 8.3%.

These funds are crucial for socio-economically disadvantaged students - Pradhan Mantri Uchchatar Shiksha Protsahan (PM-USP): This umbrella program, which bundles existing schemes for college and university students, is receiving about Rs 500 crore less than in the years prior to NEP.
Claim: For pre-matric scholarship for OBCs, the rates of scholarship increased substantially. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2022-12-09): According to Hameed, who spoke to The Hindu, "the scholarships for minorities, OBCs, Dalits, and Adivasis used to be overlapped as the applicants may be from the same socioeconomic or religious backgrounds. We have been requesting that the Center fix the problems. They completely stopped the scholarship rather than fixing the errors." [...] As much as ₹ 15,785.36 cr worth scholarships were sanctioned under Pre-Matric, Post-Matric, Merit-cum-Means and Begum Hazrat Mahal scholarship programmes, the Minority Affairs Ministry had said on March 31, 2022. [...] An Exclusive Study conducted was by SabrangIndia focusing on the doom that has been hanging over the Scholarships for Minority Students since the Modi government came to power. Based on the analysis conducted by SabrangIndia, an overall decline in pre-matric, post-matric and MCM scholarship was shown to have declined beyond the year 2014-15. While the financial disbursement to the MCM scholarship generally had increased substantially over the period, the MCM scholarship for minority students at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels and of the pre-matric and the post-matric scholarships had declined and the reduction in eligible students at that level has shown a lag.
Claim: For pre-matric scholarship for OBCs, the rates of scholarship increased substantially. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-03-19): Even when there was a corresponding increase in the post-matric scholarship for minorities in the subsequent years, this came with a similar reduction in the pre-matric scholarship. The trend was similar for other schemes too. [...] In addition to the reduced allocation, students said that the existing fellowships for OBCs are woefully inadequate. "There’s no specialised scheme available for OBC students in undergraduate and postgraduate courses... the National Fellowship for OBCs is only for PhD. There are around 1,042 universities now so 1,000 fellowships mean barely one OBC student will get it," said Gowd Kiran Kumar, president of All India OBC Students Association. [...] All the Post-matric Scholarships, which cover admission and tuition fees and a maintenance allowance till PhD, have also seen a substantial increase in allocation for all categories.
Claim: For pre-matric scholarship for OBCs, the rates of scholarship increased substantially. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-07-23): In the detailed Budget documents put out later in the day, the Budget Estimate for 2024-25 showed that the National Fellowship for OBC students was allocated ₹55 crore compared to ₹57 crore in BE(2023-24) even though the Revised Estimate (23-24) was at ₹90 crore for the scheme. [...] Similarly, under transfers to States and UTs, the Union government allocated less than the previous year for pre and post-matric scholarships to OBCs, Extremely Backward Classes, and Denotified Tribes, which officials said was done to make room for the consequent increase in the allocation under components for scholarships under Top Class Colleges and Schools for these communities. The pre-matric scholarship scheme for OBCs, EBCs, and DNTs saw an allocation of Rs 210 crore in BE(24-25) compared to ₹281 crore in BE(23-24). And in the post-matric scholarship scheme for this group, the allocation in BE(24-25) dropped to ₹921 crore from ₹1,087 crore in BE(23-24).
