HS Scooty Percentage 2025: Latest Cut-Off, Eligibility & Application Process Explained
Assam’s Pragyan Bharati Scooty Scheme, launched in 2020, has become a cornerstone of the state’s education policy. By providing free scooters to top-performing HS students, the government addresses three critical needs: educational motivation, access to higher education institutions, and youth mobility in rural areas.
For 2025, the program undergoes its most significant transformation—eliminating gender-based percentage differentials to create a uniform merit standard.
Assam’s Pragyan Bharati Scooty Scheme now requires all students to score 80% or higher in HS exams for eligibility, replacing previous gender-based criteria (60% for girls, 75% for boys). This landmark shift aims to promote gender equality in educational incentives.
