Rajasthan Janjati Chhatraon Ko Uchch Shiksha Hetu Arthik Sahayata Yojana: ₹5,000 a Year for Scheduled Tribe Girls in College

Many tribal girls in Rajasthan do well in school and then stop, not for lack of ability, but because college costs are too much for the family. The Rajasthan Janjati Chhatraon Ko Uchch Shiksha Hetu Arthik Sahayata Yojana puts a modest sum directly into the hands of Scheduled Tribe girls who study regularly in college, to help with fees, books and other study costs. The state government meets the full cost, and the Commissionerate of College Education, Rajasthan, Jaipur, runs it.

The deadline is close

Applications for the 2026-27 session are open from 1 October 2026 to 30 November 2026. Today is 8 November, so about three weeks remain. You must apply every academic year, so renewing students need to apply again too. Do not leave it for the last week, since your college has to verify your documents and forward the application.

What you receive

1. ₹500 a month for up to 10 months, so a maximum of ₹5,000 per academic year
2. The department pays it as one lump sum, not monthly
3. It goes directly to the bank account linked to your Jan Aadhaar
4. If you do not have your own account recorded in Jan Aadhaar, the amount may go to the family head’s account
5. No application fee is charged

The source notes that the 2026-27 budget provision for the scheme is ₹10 crore, compared with ₹20 crore in 2025-26. This concerns the overall budget only, and the per-student amount stays ₹5,000. Still, a lower budget could mean fewer beneficiaries or more competition, which is one more reason to apply early. The source does not say whether there is a cap on the number of students.

Who is eligible

1. A girl from the Scheduled Tribe category of Rajasthan
2. A native resident (mool niwasi) of Rajasthan
3. Studying regularly in general education at a government or private college
4. Her parents, guardian, custodian or husband must not pay income tax
5. No study gap after passing the board examination
6. Holding a valid Jan Aadhaar card and Aadhaar card

Two other conditions appear in the description. A girl living in a government-run hostel cannot take the benefit, and a gap after the board examination makes a student ineligible. The source answers neither point beyond this, and it lists an FAQ on income limits without an answer. The only financial test appears to be the income-tax condition, not a numerical income limit, but check on the portal.

Documents

1. Aadhaar card
2. Marksheet of the previous class
3. Fee receipt from your college
4. A self-declaration in the prescribed format, certified at the competent level, saying your parents, guardian, custodian or husband are not income-tax payers
5. Jan Aadhaar card with updated caste, domicile, bank details and mobile number

Update your Jan Aadhaar before you start, since mismatched details are a common reason for stalled payments.

How to apply

1. Go to the Rajasthan SSO Portal and log in with your SSO ID and password.
2. Open the Citizen App (G2C) and click the Scholarship (CE) icon.
3. Select Janjati Chhatraon Ko Uchch Shiksha Hetu Arthik Sahayata from the list.
4. Enter your Jan Aadhaar details and your personal, college and course information carefully.
5. Upload the self-declaration, previous class marksheet and college fee receipt.
6. Check everything, submit it, and save or print the form.

What happens next

1. Your college head matches the online form with your original documents.
2. The college forwards the verified application online to the district’s nodal college by the prescribed date.
3. The sanctioning officer approves eligible applications and returns incomplete ones to the institution or student.
4. The department prepares an online bill for approved applications and processes it through the treasury.
5. The money reaches your Jan Aadhaar-linked bank account.

For payment to go through, your bank KYC must be complete and your Jan Aadhaar-linked account must not be closed.

A practical tip

Ask your college office who handles scholarship verification and when they forward applications to the nodal college. Sometimes the college’s own deadline falls before the portal’s, so find out early.

Other Rajasthan schemes for students

The source mentions the Rajasthan Chief Minister Higher Education Scholarship Scheme, which gives ₹5,000 a year to meritorious low-income students, and the Rajasthan Vidhwa/Parityakta Mukhyamantri Sambal Yojana, which reimburses B.Ed. and D.El.Ed. fees for widowed and deserted women. Note that the Chief Minister scholarship has a rule against receiving another scholarship at the same time, so check the rules of each before applying for more than one.
