Common problems and how to fix them
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Just below the marks cut-off | The scholarship needs a high board-exam score (around 80% / 80th percentile). If you are below it, check MYSY’s current cut-off and other state scholarships you may qualify for. |
| Income certificate expired | The MYSY income certificate is valid for three financial years — you do not need a new one every year, but it must be current and within the ₹6 lakh limit. |
| Renewal rejected | To renew, keep at least 50% marks and 75% attendance. Falling below either can stop the scholarship. |
| Which portal | Apply on the official MYSY portal (mysy.guj.nic.in), not a general scholarship site. |
