No, 10th appeared students cannot take part in the National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship (NMMS) Exam. The NMMS exam is conducted for Class 8 students studying in government or government-aided schools. Eligible students must have scored at least 55% (50% for reserved categories) in Class 7 and meet the income criteria set by the scheme. Class 10 students are not eligible to apply for NMMS.

Hello there,

No, 10th appeared students cannot take part in the NMMS (National Means Cum-Merit Scholarship) exam . The exam is only for Class 8 students studying in government or government-aided schools.

To be eligible, students must:

  1. Be in Class 8 at the time of application.
  2. Have secured at least 55% marks (50% for reserved categories) in Class 7.
  3. Have a family income of less than Rs. 3,50,000 per year.

Since you are in Class 10 , you are not eligible for NMMS. You can explore other scholarships for Class 10 students , such as NTSE, KVPY, or state-level merit scholarships .


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
