Students Scoring 75% or More to Benefit
The incentive is available to students who have secured 75% or above marks in Class 12 in their first attempt.
The scheme seeks to recognise students who have demonstrated strong academic performance while also ensuring that financial limitations do not prevent them from accessing digital learning resources.
The laptop assistance is particularly aimed at helping students transition from school education to higher education, where access to online resources and digital platforms has become increasingly important.
Scheme Aims to Promote Digital Education
The Madhya Pradesh government has positioned the initiative as an effort to connect meritorious students with modern technology and strengthen their access to digital education.
Laptops provided through the financial assistance can help students access online study material, e-learning platforms, digital courses, educational videos and other academic resources.
The government believes that access to such technology can provide students with additional opportunities to prepare for competitive examinations and pursue higher studies.
Direct Benefit Transfer to Students’ Accounts
The ₹25,000 incentive will be transferred directly into the eligible students’ bank accounts, providing them with financial assistance for purchasing a laptop of their choice.
The direct transfer mechanism is intended to ensure that the benefit reaches eligible students without an intermediary.
The programme on September 1 will formally mark the distribution of the laptop purchase incentive to this year’s beneficiaries.
₹304.985 Crore Investment in Student Empowerment
