Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the most common queries from students and parents regarding college scholarships.

Can I apply for more than one government scholarship at the same time?

Under government regulations, a student can typically avail only one primary government tuition scholarship in a single academic year. If you apply for multiple schemes (e.g. MYSY and Digital Gujarat Post-Matric), you will be asked to choose one before final disbursement. Consult the college office to identify which scheme provides the maximum financial benefit for your specific profile.

Are self-financed BCA and BBA students eligible for Digital Gujarat scholarships?

Yes! Government scholarship schemes in Gujarat cover eligible students enrolled in self-financed undergraduate courses (BCA and BBA) at recognized institutions like JJKCC affiliated with Saurashtra University. Categories such as SC, ST, NT-DNT, SEBC, and EWS receive direct fee subsidies and maintenance allowances according to state norms.

How do I renew my scholarship in the 2nd and 3rd year?

Scholarships are not automatically renewed. In each subsequent academic year, students must log in to the respective portal (Digital Gujarat, NSP, or MYSY), initiate a Renewal Application, upload previous semester marksheets (showing successful clearance), and submit the renewal hard copy to the JJKCC college office for re-verification.

What is the "Red Book" scholarship and how can I avail it?

The Red Book scheme is offered by the Gujarat Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (BOCW). If either of your parents is a registered construction worker holding an active Red Book (Shramik Card / e-Nirman card), you are entitled to approx. ₹10,000–₹12,000/year in higher education assistance for both BBA and BCA courses.

What should I do if my application shows "Pending at College Level"?

This status means your online form is submitted, but the college office has either not received your physical document set or is currently verifying your records. Please visit the JJKCC Administrative Office with your original documents and one set of photocopies during working hours to complete the verification immediately.
