Sir,
Kindly tell me what is the fee for one year programme for Pre-Medical course for 12th passed student I want to get scholarship for this course. How can I get?

Check the course fees and structure: Meet the college officials and inquire about the annual fees and other expenses for the Pre-Medical program. Get fee details in writing to determine how much scholarship amount you need. Courses vary so fees could be upwards of Rs. 3 Lakhs per year. Scholarships provided by colleges themselves are most relevant but competitive.
Research scholarship options: Explore options from government agencies like UGC, central and state governments, private trusts, NGOs, etc. Some options could be:

• MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS: Based on your 12th % and ranks. Few colleges and private trusts provide up to 100% merit scholarships for deserving candidates.
• NEED-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS: If fees is a burden. UGC provides up to 100% need-based scholarships for annual parental income up to Rs. 6 Lakhs.
• MINORITY SCHOLARSHIPS: If you belong to minority communities.
• SCHOLARSHIPS FOR INDIAN NATIONALS: Some trusts offer scholarships specifically for deserving Indian students.
• SUBJECT SPECIFIC SCHOLARSHIPS: Rare but a few are available for toppers in science/medical stream in 12th.
• ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIPS: If your college has an alumni association, check scholarships offered for meritorious students.

Apply through the colleges' scholarship portals in case they provide any scholarships. Also apply for external scholarships by submitting relevant documents as instructed on the specific scheme websites/portals.
Meet the college administrators and submit a request for additional scholarships or fee waivers as your situation demands. Be persistent but remain within rules.
Highlight your accomplishments, potential and commitment to the course to strengthen your case. Prepare well for any auditions, interviews or convictions required.
Try to secure as many scholarships and benefits as possible to make the program affordable. Every bit helps when funding an important career-defining course.
