Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu recently clarified the eligibility criteria for the prestigious Bani Kanta Kakoti Award, also known as the Scooty Award, for Class XII students of 2024. This award aims to promote higher education among students in the state ¹.
To be eligible for the Scooty Award, students must score 75% or above if they’re boys, and 60% or above if they’re girls, in their Class XII exams. Additionally, they must continue their higher education in Assam, pursuing courses like MBBS, Engineering, BSc (Nursing), LLB, and other similar fields of study.
However, it’s essential to note that students who discontinue their regular courses for coaching or migrate to other states for education will not be considered eligible for the award. This initiative encourages students to pursue their education within Assam, contributing to the state’s academic development ¹.
The Bani Kanta Kakoti Award is a key initiative by the Assam government to incentivize academic excellence and retain talent within the state. The scheme focuses on boosting education, particularly among young women, and has garnered attention for its potential to help students with their higher education pursuits ¹.
