About Scholarship
The scholarships will be awarded to study B.Sc.(Hons.) in Information Technology at LBEF CAMPUS. Students who have completed 10+2 or equivalent from recognized board or Diploma in Computer Engineering from CTVET will be benefited with this scheme. Students who have appeared for 10+2 or equivalent examination can also apply. Girl students will be most benefited by this scheme and the reason to do so is to further the educational opportunities of young women of future generations.

Scope
The objective of the scheme is to award scholarships to meritorious students belonging to economically weaker sections of the community so as to provide them better opportunities for higher education, increase their rate of attainment in higher education and enhance their employability. By 2020, employment in all computer occupations is expected to increase by 22% however the percentage of women working in computer science-related professions has steadily declined since the 1990s. One of the possible step to reverse the trend is to encourage more female students to undertake computer science. With this objective we are planning to introduce National ICT scholarships to females and weaker sections of the society.

Eligibility
Scholarship will be awarded to the students who have secured not less than 50% marks or equivalent grade in the previous final examination (Grade XI & XII). Students who have appeared for Grade-XII examination may also apply. Student must have scored more than 50% marks in Mathematics at
Grade-X level too.
