MPTAAS runs several welfare schemes under one portal, and students often struggle to tell them apart. This guide compares the MPTAAS scholarship, Awas Yojana, and Akanksha Yojana side by side, so you can identify which schemes you actually qualify for and apply for the right combination instead of missing out on support you are eligible for.
MPTAAS Schemes Compared
| योजना | What It Covers | योग्य श्रेणी | सर्वश्रेष्ठ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Scholarship | Tuition fees and maintenance allowance | SC, ST, OBC | All enrolled students meeting income limits |
| Awas Yojana | Accommodation allowance when no hostel seat is available | Primarily SC, ST | Students studying away from home without a hostel seat |
| Akanksha Yojana | Free coaching for JEE, NEET/AIIMS, CLAT | अनुसूचित जनजाति | Class 10 pass students preparing for entrance exams |
Regular Scholarship vs Awas Yojana
The regular MPTAAS scholarship pays your tuition fee and a standard maintenance allowance, regardless of where you live during your course. Awas Yojana, on the other hand, exists specifically for students who cannot get a government hostel seat and need extra support to arrange private accommodation. Consequently, these two schemes are not alternatives to each other; they address different costs, and an eligible student can receive both in the same academic year.
Regular Scholarship vs Akanksha Yojana
Akanksha Yojana is fundamentally different from the regular scholarship, since it funds coaching for a competitive entrance exam rather than ongoing course fees. It also has a narrower eligibility window, open only to ST students who have just passed Class 10 with 60% or above. Therefore, most students will use the regular scholarship throughout their education and apply for Akanksha Yojana only during the specific transition period into Class 11 if they are targeting JEE, NEET, or CLAT.
Which Scheme Should You Apply For?
- If you are enrolled in any course and meet the income limit, apply for the regular scholarship first through your MPTAAS प्रोफ़ाइल.
- If you cannot secure a hostel seat near your institute, add an Awas Yojana application for accommodation support.
- If you are an ST student who just cleared Class 10 and want to prepare for JEE, NEET, or CLAT, apply for Akanksha Yojana as well.
- If you fall under the OBC category, remember Awas Yojana and Akanksha Yojana are largely reserved for SC/ST students, so focus on the MPTAAS OBC छात्रवृत्ति and its specific income limit instead.
Since all these schemes run through the same MPTAAS profile, there is no need to register separately for each one. Instead, complete your profile once, keep your documents and eKYC current, and simply select the additional schemes you qualify for from your dashboard each session.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
Can I get MPTAAS scholarship and Awas Yojana at the same time?
Yes, they cover different needs, tuition and maintenance for the scholarship, and accommodation support for Awas Yojana, so eligible students can receive both if a hostel seat is genuinely unavailable.
Can I apply for Akanksha Yojana and the regular scholarship together?
Yes, Akanksha Yojana coaching support and the regular post-matric scholarship serve different purposes, coaching for entrance exams versus ongoing course fees, so eligible ST students can apply for both.
Which MPTAAS scheme should I apply for first?
Start with your MPTAAS profile registration and regular scholarship application, since this is the base requirement most other schemes build on, then add Awas Yojana or Akanksha Yojana if you meet their specific eligibility.
Do all MPTAAS schemes use the same login and profile?
Yes, every scheme under MPTAAS, including the regular scholarship, OBC scholarship, Awas Yojana, and Akanksha Yojana, runs through the same Profile ID and login rather than requiring separate registrations.
Are all these schemes open to OBC students?
No, some schemes like Awas Yojana and Akanksha Yojana are primarily targeted at SC and ST students, while the regular post-matric and pre-matric scholarships are open to SC, ST, and OBC students under their respective income limits.
