Yes, students with a family income below ₹20 lakh per annum are eligible for many scholarships. Several schemes specifically consider family income as a key factor, with some setting the maximum limit even lower.
- Central Sector Scheme of Scholarship: family income must be less than ₹4.5 lakh/year.
- Top Class Education Scheme (SC students): up to ₹8 lakh/year.
- Thapar University Merit-Cum-Means Scholarship: up to ₹10 lakh/year.
Eligibility varies by scholarship and may also depend on academic merit, category, or course of study.
