## Note :

- (I) In case of Pre-matric, Post-matric and Merit-cum Means scholarships for 2015-16, the duly scrutinized proposals for scholarships have not been received from the concerned States/UTs as the last date of receipt of applications from  students  on  National  Scholarship  Portal  was  31.10.2015.  The  figures  indicated  in  some  rows  of  2015-16 under  Post-matric  and  Merit-cum  Means  are  the  cases  of  2014-15  which  could  not  be  disbursed  due  to  bank verification.
