Har Chhatravratti is the Haryana Government’s online scholarship portal for students of the state. Run by the Department of Higher Education and the SC/BC Welfare Department, Haryana, it brings several scholarship schemes for Scheduled Caste (SC) students — and some schemes for BC, EWS and DNT students — together on one portal: harchhatravratti.highereduhry.ac.in.
This guide translates the Hindi post on the Haryana SC Scholarship 2026. It explains the main schemes on the portal, how much money students can get, who is eligible, which documents are needed, and how to apply online. The headline figures are a post-matric scholarship of ₹2,500 to ₹13,500 a year, and a stipend of ₹1,000 a month with ₹2,000 for books under the consolidated stipend and free-books schemes.

What Is the Haryana SC Scholarship? It Is Not One Scheme, but a Group
“Haryana SC Scholarship” is a convenient name for the group of schemes for SC students listed on Har Chhatravratti. The main ones are:
- Post-Matric Scholarship (SC) — for Classes 11 to post-graduation; ₹2,500 to ₹13,500 a year.
- Consolidated Stipend Scheme (SC) — ₹2,000 for books plus a ₹1,000 monthly stipend.

- Tuition Fee Reimbursement (SC) — reimbursement of tuition fees for SC students.
- Transport Facility Reimbursement (SC) — reimbursement of transport facility for SC students.
- State SC Schemes (Government ITI) — schemes for SC students studying in government Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs).
Please note: the Dr Ambedkar Medhavi Chhatra Yojana, which gives ₹12,000 a year, is a separate scheme for meritorious students and is not part of the SC scholarship group described here.
1. Post-Matric Scholarship (SC)
The Post-Matric Scholarship for SC students (PMS-SC) is for SC students studying in Class 11 and 12, ITI, diploma, graduation, post-graduation, MBBS, B.Tech, LLB and similar courses. The amount has two parts — reimbursement of tuition fees and a maintenance allowance — and the maintenance allowance depends on the course group. The amount can be up to ₹13,500 a year.
Annual maintenance allowance
| Course group | Hosteller | Day scholar |
|---|---|---|
| Group 1 — Degree and PG professional courses (Medical, Engineering, Management, Ph.D., M.Phil.) | ₹13,500 | ₹7,000 |
| Group 2 — Other professional courses (degree, diploma, certificate) | ₹9,500 | ₹6,500 |
| Group 3 — Graduation and PG general courses (B.A., B.Sc., B.Com. and similar) | ₹6,000 | ₹3,000 |
| Group 4 — Class 11 and 12 and other non-degree courses | ₹4,000 | ₹2,500 |
Students with disabilities get 10% extra. Students of CA, ICWA, CS and ICFA are treated as day scholars. Some sources also give monthly maintenance rates — for example, up to ₹1,200 a month for Group 1.
2. Consolidated Stipend Scheme (SC)
Under the Consolidated Stipend Scheme for SC students, a student gets ₹2,000 for books and a stipend of ₹1,000 a month. According to departmental information, the scheme is for SC students in government colleges. The scheme is listed separately on the Har Chhatravratti portal. A minimum attendance of 60% is required.
3. Free Books for SC Students
Free Books for SC Students is also listed as a separate entry on the portal, with the same benefits: ₹2,000 for books and a stipend of ₹1,000 a month. A minimum attendance of 60% is required. Please note that the two schemes appear as separate entries on the portal, but their benefits are the same — check the portal status before choosing one.
4. Tuition Fee and Transport Reimbursement (SC)
Two further benefits for SC students are listed on the portal: Reimbursement of Tuition Fee to Scheduled Castes (SC) and Reimbursement of Transport Facility to Scheduled Castes (SC). The amounts and detailed conditions for these two benefits have not been verified from public sources, so no amount is stated for them here. Check the portal and the official notice for the current details.
5. State SC Schemes (Government ITI)
Separate state SC schemes are listed on the portal for SC students studying in government ITIs. Check the scheme list on the Har Chhatravratti portal for the current benefits and conditions for ITI students.
A Note on BC, EWS and DNT Students
