The Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has announced that the state government will now reward class 12 students with financial benefits in their undergraduate degree, if they score more than 75 per cent.
According to the announcement made by the state chief minister, the state government will now bear the engineering and/ or medical college fees of students who secure more than 75 per cent in their class 12 exams.
“I already give laptops to students who scored more than 75% in their 12th standard exams. Now, I will also bear the fees of medical college, engineering college, IIT and law college,” he was quoted by ANI.
