250 students from Telangana selected for CM overseas scholarship scheme

The chief minister of Telangana has started an initiative called a CM overseeing scholarship scheme that sends students to study abroad for Postgraduate and PhD programmes. Candidates are only selected from minority groups. Muslim, Christian, Sikh and Jain communities are given more preference while selecting students for scholarship. 

Candidates have been selected on the basis of their merit. Specific cut offs are selected for students from different categories. For 2022, 250 students have been selected out of which 143 are male and 107 are female. Students can pursue their courses in countries like the US, the UK, Australia and Canada.
