Rajya Pratibha Khoj Pariksha Chhatravriti Yojana(RPKPCY)
Overview
About RPKPCY
Rajya Pratibha Khoj Pariksha Chhatravriti Yojana is a merit scholarship run by the Government of Rajasthan through its school education administration. Selection runs through the State Talent Search Examination (STSE), which the Board of Secondary Education Rajasthan, Ajmer conducts. Students who clear that examination are recognised as scholars and brought into the scheme.
The support is cash. Selected students receive a scholarship or a one-time incentive, and the awards are structured to continue as the student moves up through school and into higher study, up to the postgraduate level.
The scheme is aimed at school students in Rajasthan who sit the STSE, drawn from government and recognised private schools. It gives academically strong students a route to steady financial backing over several years, tied to their performance in the talent search examination rather than to a family income category.
