What is the Government ITI SC Scholarship?
The State SC Scholarship Scheme of the Haryana Government’s Department of Skill Development & Industrial Training is for Scheduled Caste (SC) students studying in Government Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) in Haryana. Its objective is to encourage SC youth to take up skill development training, giving them an opportunity to become self-employed and financially independent.
Under this scheme, eligible students get a stipend of ₹200 per month plus ₹15 per month towards tuition fees — a total of ₹215 per month. The amount is paid in 2 installments a year, directly into the student’s Aadhaar-linked bank account (DBT) — the first installment after admission to a Government ITI, and the second installment after the student fulfils the attendance criteria to appear for the examination.
One thing to be clear about first: this scheme is NOT the Post-Matric Scholarship for SC students (PMS-SC). PMS-SC is a Centrally Sponsored scheme for SC students from Class 11 to PG (ITI courses are also covered), with a family income limit of ₹2.5 lakh per year and a 75% attendance requirement. This State SC scheme is only for SC students in Government ITIs, and no income limit has been stated for it. Only one of the two can be taken at a time — the comparison table below will help you decide which is better for you.

Conflict on the amount — ₹15 or ₹1,500 per month? Two sources differ sharply on the tuition fee component. govtscholarship.com (2023-24) says the tuition fee is ₹15 per month, while CollegeDekho (2025-26) writes ₹1,500 per month. This guide follows ₹15 per month — because the official 2026-27 admission prospectus for Haryana Government ITIs itself lists the tuition fee for Haryana residents as ₹15 per month. A claim of ₹1,500 per month is 100 times the actual fee, so it appears to be wrong. Both sources agree on the ₹200 per month stipend.
Honest position on the 2026-27 last date and application route: When the Har-Chhatravratti portal (harchhatravratti.highereduhry.ac.in) was checked on 8 November 2026, this ITI SC scheme was NOT among its 14 listed schemes — the portal shows only 3 schemes under the Directorate of Technical Education (Merit-cum-Means, Tuition Fee Reimbursement, Transport Facility), all closed since 2024. For the 2025-26 session, some sources gave the last date for this scheme as 28 February 2026 and said applications were taken through the Har-Chhatravratti portal. But no last date for 2026-27 has been announced in any source found. So no date is given in this guide — do confirm the current session’s last date and application route from your ITI Principal or nodal officer.
How Much Scholarship
The scholarship has two parts — a monthly stipend and a refund of the tuition fee. Both come directly to the bank account:
| Component | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly stipend | ₹200 per month | For every eligible SC student |
| Tuition fee | ₹15 per month | Equal to the actual Government ITI tuition fee (2026-27 prospectus) |
| Total per month | ₹215 per month | Stipend + tuition fee |
| Annual total | About ₹2,580 | On a 12-month basis (₹2,400 + ₹180) — paid in installments |
How the installments work: The amount is paid in 2 installments a year. The first installment comes after admission to a Government ITI. The second installment comes after the student completes the attendance required to appear for the examination. So regular attendance is a condition for the second installment — without it, the second installment can get stuck.
Why does the amount look small? Honestly, ₹215 a month is not a large sum — but Government ITI fees themselves are very low. The tuition fee for Haryana residents in a Government ITI is only ₹15 a month (waived for girls), so the ₹15 tuition component covers the actual fee in full. SC trainees also get other support such as a tool-kit grant (up to ₹1,000). And remember — SC students can also choose PMS-SC (Post-Matric Scholarship) instead, which pays ₹230 a month for ITI courses (day scholar) plus full compulsory fees, but has an income limit of ₹2.5 lakh and a 75% attendance condition. Only one of the two can be chosen.
Who is Eligible — Eligibility Conditions
All of these conditions must be met for this scholarship:
| Condition | Detail |
|---|---|
| Category | Student must belong to the Scheduled Caste (SC) |
| Domicile | Student must be a permanent resident (domicile) of Haryana |
| Institute | Student must be a regular student in a Government ITI in Haryana — students of private ITIs are NOT eligible for this scheme |
| Income limit | No income limit has been stated — no family income condition appears in the sources for this scheme (unlike PMS-SC, which has a ₹2.5 lakh limit) |
| Other scholarship | Student must NOT be availing any other State or Central Government scholarship/stipend — an affidavit to this effect is required |
| Attendance | The second installment requires the attendance needed to appear for the examination |
| Bank account | Must have an Aadhaar-seeded bank account — payment is made by DBT |
Who is Not Eligible
- Students studying in a private ITI — this scheme is only for Government ITIs.
- Students who do not belong to the SC category — this scheme is not for General, BC or other categories (General-category ITI students have a separate Technical Education Scholarship of ₹100 per month).
- Students who are not permanent residents of Haryana.
- Students already availing any other scholarship (such as PMS-SC) — only one of the two can be chosen.
- Students not regularly enrolled in a Government ITI.
How This Scheme Differs From Other Scholarships
Several scholarships run for SC students, which causes confusion. This table clarifies which scheme this guide is about and which one may be better for you:
| Point | State SC Scholarship — Govt ITI (this guide) | PMS-SC (Post-Matric, SC) | PM-YASASVI Post-Matric (OBC/EBC/DNT) | Minority Post-Matric | Lower Income Group Scholarship |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| For whom | SC students, only Government ITI | SC students, Class 11 to PG (ITI included) | OBC, EBC and DNT students | Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi | Any category — no caste condition |
| Income limit | None stated | ₹2.5 lakh per year | ₹2.5 lakh per year | ₹2 lakh per year | ₹12,000 per year |
| Amount | ₹215 per month (₹200 stipend + ₹15 tuition) | ₹230 per month for ITI (day scholar) + full compulsory fees | ₹5,000–₹20,000 per year | ₹6,000–₹15,000 per year | ₹27–₹75 per month + full compulsory fees |
| Apply where | Through your ITI (offline form); in 2025-26 also via Har-Chhatravratti portal | NSP (scholarships.gov.in) — OTR mandatory | NSP (scholarships.gov.in) | NSP (scholarships.gov.in) | Har-Chhatravratti portal |
| Whose scheme | Haryana State (Skill Development & Industrial Training Dept) | Centrally Sponsored | Central (PM-YASASVI) | Central (Ministry of Minority Affairs) | Haryana State (Directorate of Higher Education) |
| Attendance condition | Exam-eligible attendance for 2nd installment | 75% | 75% | None (50% marks condition applies) | None |
| Last date 2026-27 | Not announced | 31 January 2027 | 31 January 2027 | 30 November 2026 | 31 December 2026 |
Which one to choose — this scheme or PMS-SC? If you are an SC student in a Government ITI, you may be eligible for both — but you can take the benefit of only one. PMS-SC pays more (₹230 a month for ITI + full fees, i.e. ₹2,760 a year + fees) but has an income limit of ₹2.5 lakh and a 75% attendance condition. The State SC ITI scheme pays less (₹215 a month) but has no income limit stated and the application is made through your ITI itself. If your family income is below ₹2.5 lakh and your attendance stays above 75%, PMS-SC is more beneficial; if your income is higher or meeting the attendance condition is difficult, the State SC ITI scheme is the right one. Decide only after asking your ITI nodal officer.

How to Apply
The application route for this scheme has changed across sessions — both routes are given below. Do confirm the current session’s route from your ITI before applying:
Route 1 — Offline application through your ITI (2023-24 process)
- Collect the form: Collect the scholarship application form from the Principal of your Government ITI.
- Fill the form: Fill in all required details correctly (name, caste, admission details, bank account, etc.).
- Attach documents: Attach the documents from the list above — caste certificate, domicile certificate, photo, signature, affidavit.
- Submit: Submit the filled form to the Principal/Head of your ITI.
- Verification: The application is checked at the ITI level and then sent to the department.
Route 2 — Online application through the Har-Chhatravratti portal (as per 2025-26 sources)
As per 2025-26 sources (CollegeDekho, AimIndia), applications for this scheme were also taken through the Har-Chhatravratti portal (harchhatravratti.highereduhry.ac.in). The steps described were:
- Go to the portal: Visit harchhatravratti.highereduhry.ac.in and register/log in (Parivar Pehchan Patra mandatory).
- Select the scheme: After login, select the “State SC Scheme (Govt ITI)” scheme.
- Fill the details: Fill in personal, academic, bank and ITI details and upload the documents.
- Submit the printout to your ITI: Take a printout of the submitted form and submit it at your ITI — the ITI department will verify the application.
- Verification: After verification at the ITI/department level, the amount comes by DBT.
Important warning: When the portal was checked on 8 November 2026, this scheme was NOT in its list — so it is not certain whether online application is available in 2026-27. Do not rely only on the portal without asking your ITI Principal. There is no application fee for this scheme — if anyone asks for money in its name, it may be fraud.
Application Timeline
| Session | Last date / Status |
|---|---|
| 2023-24 | 31 October 2023 (govtscholarship.com) |
| 2025-26 | 28 February 2026 (AimIndia — last date for State SC Scheme (Govt ITI) on the Har-Chhatravratti portal) |
| 2026-27 | Not announced yet — no last date found in any source; ask your ITI |
| ITI admission 2026-27 | Last date for admission was 15 October 2026 (admission portal admissions.itiharyana.gov.in) — this is the admission date, not the scholarship date |
Looking at the pattern of past sessions, the last date has often been extended (in 2025-26 it went up to 28 February 2026), but no official announcement for 2026-27 has been found yet. As soon as the department announces a date, it will appear on your ITI’s notice board and the Har-Chhatravratti portal. Submit the form as soon as the date is announced instead of waiting for the last days.
How the Money is Paid
The scholarship is sent directly to the bank account (DBT) — to the student’s Aadhaar-linked bank account. It comes in 2 installments a year: the first after admission and the second after completing the attendance required to appear for the examination. If the money does not arrive on time, first ask your ITI Principal/nodal officer — they can tell you the status of the application. The bank account must be active, KYC complete and Aadhaar-linked, otherwise payment will get stuck.
How to Check Status
- From your ITI: Ask your ITI Principal or scholarship nodal officer about the application status — if there is any shortcoming in the application, they will tell you what needs to be fixed.
- On the Har-Chhatravratti portal (if you applied online): Log in at harchhatravratti.highereduhry.ac.in to check the status — it will show at which level the application is (institute, department or payment).
- Grievance: A grievance can be registered on the portal and its status checked there.
How Renewal Works
This scholarship is paid for the duration of the ITI course — in 2 installments every year. To continue the benefit in the next year of the course, the student must remain regularly enrolled in the Government ITI and complete the attendance required to appear for the examination. If the student leaves the ITI or does not complete the attendance, the next installment can stop. Confirm the form and verification process for the next session from your ITI — the list is prepared at the ITI level every session.
Common Mistakes in the Application
- Applying under the wrong scheme — PMS-SC and the State SC ITI scheme are different; choose the right one as per your eligibility and income — both benefits cannot be taken together.
- Applying from a private ITI — this scheme is only for Government ITIs; SC students of private ITIs can apply for PMS-SC.
- Not submitting the affidavit — the affidavit of not availing any other scholarship is mandatory; without it the application can get stuck.
- Aadhaar not seeded — the scholarship comes by DBT, so the account must be active, KYC complete and Aadhaar-linked.
- Not submitting the form at the ITI — even after filling the online form, its printout has to be submitted at your ITI; filling it online alone is not enough.
- Waiting for the last date — submit the form as soon as the date is announced; verification can get delayed in the last days.
- Paying an agent — there is no fee for this scheme; anyone asking for money may be a fraud.
- Trusting the wrong ₹1,500 figure — some websites write the tuition fee as ₹1,500 per month, which is wrong; the actual tuition fee is ₹15 per month.
