After COHSEM Results 2011 where the 12th toppers in Science are announced to get merit ,scholorship from Govt.
In a major encourage to the student community, the Government of
Manipur will select 228
students who excel in the Science stream in the class XII examination
conducted by Council of
Higher Secondary Educa-
tion Manipur (COHSEM) for
availing scholarship benefits under the Inspire Scheme.
The Scheme is informed to have been launched by
the Government of India ’s Department of Science
and Technology to
encourage students
pursue Science courses in
order to replenish
strength of the country ’s science teachers and
scientists. Under the Scheme a
scholarship amount of Rs80,000 will given to a student for pursuing the three- year graduation course in Science with a similar amount available in a year for those pursuing MSc course. An informed source in COHSEM affirmed that result of the class XII examination would be declared within May 30. Stating that a total of
22,776 candidates had
appeared in the Council
examination in Arts,
Science and Commerce
streams, the source said as per instruction of the
Department of Science
and Technology, which
functions under the
Ministry of Science and
Technology (Govt of India) the financial
assistance is to be given
to one percent of the
total class XII candidates. As shortlisting only one
percent from amongst
the Science stream
candidates will amount to
a negligible number of
beneficiaries the Ministry is informed to have
suggested to the Council
to take into account the
total number of class XII
students but recommend
for the scholarship from among the Science
students only.
Meritorious students
(Science) from both
Government and private
educational institutions
would be eligible for the
scholarship with the condition that 75 percent
aggregate should be the
cut-off mark, the source
informed while adding
that failure to maintain
the aggregate percent at graduation or MSc level
would mean annulment
of the financial assistance.
At the time of issuing
mark-sheets after
declaration of the class
XII examination result
228 top ranking science
students would be given a form for
applying for the INSPIRE
Scheme scholarship.
