About LIC Golden Jubilee Scholarship (10 to PG)
The LIC Golden Jubilee Scholarship Scheme is funded by the LIC Golden Jubilee Foundation, a CSR initiative of Life Insurance Corporation of India. The scheme operates through LIC's 112 Divisional Offices spread across India, ensuring that students from every region of the country — from Jammu & Kashmir to Tamil Nadu, from Gujarat to Assam — have an equal chance of benefiting.
For 2026, the scheme has two scholarship categories:
- General Scholarship – After Class 12th/Diploma
- Special Scholarship – After Class 10th
Online Registration Open for the Student and Last Date to Apply is September 30, 2026.
Eligibility Criteria & Selection Process
General Scholarship Eligibility – After Class 12th/Diploma
- Have passed Class 12th or an equivalent examination with at least 60% marks or equivalent CGPA.
- Have passed the qualifying examination during the academic year 2023-24, 2024-25 or 2025-26.
- Have taken admission in the first year of a qualifying course during the academic year 2026-27.
- Have parents/guardians whose total annual income from all sources does not exceed Rs. 4,50,000.
Special Scholarship Eligibility – After Class 10th
- Have passed Class 10th or equivalent with at least 60% marks or equivalent CGPA.
- Have passed Class 10th during 2023-24, 2024-25 or 2025-26.
- Have taken admission in the academic year 2026-27 in the first year of Intermediate/10+2, vocational or diploma courses.
- Have parents/guardians with an annual income of not more than Rs. 4,50,000
Selection Process
Selection is purely merit-based on Class 12th or 10th marks. Ties are broken first by lower parental income, then by a financial assessment by LIC officials if needed.
A few key rules to note: students already receiving a private trust or institution scholarship are not eligible (government scholarships are fine). Only one student per family can hold this scholarship — except when both applicants are female, or the second applicant is a girl.

Other Information
1. Waiting List Is Real: Even if you don't get selected initially, you may still get the scholarship through a centralised waiting list if any selected student drops out.
2. Changing College? Inform LIC Immediately: If you transfer to another college during the scholarship period, notify your LIC Divisional Office immediately with your Transfer Certificate and marksheet — or lose the scholarship.
3. Arrear Claims Expire in 12 Months: Missed an instalment? You have only 12 months after the academic year ends to claim it. After that, LIC will not accept it.
4. Lateral Entry Students Can Apply: Diploma holders entering 2nd year Engineering directly are still eligible, provided they scored 60% or above in their Diploma.
5. Two Scholarships in One Family Are Possible: Normally only one student per family is allowed. But if the second applicant is female — or both are female — two scholarships in the same family are permitted.
