Technical Education Scholarship Scheme For Diploma Level(TESSDLHP)
Overview
About TESSDLHP
The Technical Education Scholarship Scheme for Diploma Level is run by the Department of Technical Education, Vocational and Industrial Training, Government of Himachal Pradesh. It supports students enrolled in diploma-level courses. Applications are made through the state's ePASS Himachal Pradesh portal, which the Technical Education Department operates.
The benefit is a monthly stipend. Awards go to bonafide Himachali students, and the scheme sets a family-income ceiling along with a fixed number of diploma awards each year.
Selection works on two counts: poverty-cum-brilliance, where financial need is weighed alongside marks, and brilliance, where merit alone decides. Full coverage is reserved for the department's Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe students.
