Can I apply for central government scholarships if I have 50% and belong to a Scheduled Caste background?

Yes, you can apply for central government scholarships as a Scheduled Caste (SC) student with 50% marks. Many central schemes set 50% as the minimum mark, which you meet.
Eligibility also depends on factors like family income and the specific course you are pursuing. For example, the Pre-Matric and Post-Matric Scholarship Schemes for SC students typically require a parental income below ₹2.5 lakh per year.
Scholarship requirements and income limits are subject to change.
