Why do Ambedkar Scholarships consider marks in the qualifying exam (merit) for selection?
We, at Ambedkar Scholarships, are aware that the marks obtained in any qualifying examination are not the best way to measure the suitability of a student for aid. We do not believe in the word merit, per se. We are aware that a childs merit depends on the socio-economic and family situation. We also believe that encouragement is required to the educationally backward students but not merit students.
