Private Tuition Assistance to Socially and Educationally Backward Class Students Studying in Science Stream of Class 11 & 12(PTASEBCSSSS)

This is a Gujarat state scholarship run by the Social Justice and Empowerment Department, delivered through its Directorate of Developing Castes Welfare. It helps students from Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) meet the cost of private coaching while they study the science stream in Classes 11 and 12.

The benefit is cash. Eligible students receive a fixed grant toward private tuition fees, paid separately for the Class 11 year and the Class 12 year, so the support covers both years of higher secondary science education rather than a single term.

The scheme is aimed at SEBC students in Gujarat, a category that includes the state's More Backward, Most Backward, and Nomadic and Denotified communities. It is meant for students already enrolled in the science stream at a recognised higher secondary school and taking private tuition during the academic year, subject to the department's marks and family-income conditions.

Applications are handled online through the Digital Gujarat portal, where students register, sign in, and submit their claim under the Developing Castes Welfare schemes. The exact eligibility, income ceiling, and documents required are set by the department and listed on the scheme page.
