Common Questions (FAQs)
Can a student receive other scholarships along with the LIC Golden Jubilee Scholarship?
Candidates who are already receiving scholarships from other private trusts or institutions are generally not eligible for the LIC Golden Jubilee Scholarship.

What are the academic requirements to continue receiving the scholarship in subsequent years?
To ensure renewal of the scholarship, students in Medical and Engineering streams must secure at least 55% marks or an equivalent SGPA & CGPA grade in their previous annual/semester examinations and pass all subjects. For other graduation courses (Arts, Science, Commerce), a minimum of 50% marks or an equivalent SGPA & CGPA grade is required, with all subjects passed. Special Girl Child scholars must achieve at least 50% marks and pass all subjects in their 11th standard examination. Regular attendance is also a prerequisite for renewal. Failure to meet these academic standards will result in the discontinuation of the scholarship.
Are post-graduate or distance learning courses eligible for this scholarship?
No, the LIC Golden Jubilee Scholarship Scheme is not intended for post-graduation studies. However, integrated courses that combine both graduation and post-graduation studies are eligible for the scholarship for their entire duration.
