Dimapur, February 22 (MExN): In a major boost to merit-based education and youth empowerment in Nagaland, NITI Nagaland has announced 100 per cent scholarships for the Ten-Unique toppers of each of the HSLC and HSSLC examinations under both CBSE and NBSE Boards for 2026.
The scholarship initiative will cover all NITI computer and skill development courses, as well as NEET–JEE related academic programmes. These include the School Integrated Programme (SIP) and the Enhancement and Rankers Programmes conducted in collaboration with Pilgrim Higher Secondary School, Dimapur, St John Higher Secondary Residential School, Dimapur, and Libemo Memorial School, Wokha.
Under the scheme, the selected Ten-Unique toppers will be eligible for 100 per cent scholarship in the form of full fee reimbursement for all NITI Computer and Skill Development Courses, NEET–JEE School Integrated Programmes (SIP), and NEET–JEE related Enhancement and Rankers batches.
The scholarship amount will be reimbursed in full, subject to enrolment and payment of the full course fee within March 2026, successful verification of Board examination results, and completion of all admission formalities.
In addition to the topper scholarships, NITI Nagaland has also announced special offers and fee benefits for students who enrol on or before March 15, 2026.
The Topper Reward Scheme (TRS) aims to encourage academic excellence, support deserving and high-performing students, reduce the financial burden on families, create national-level NEET and JEE achievers from Nagaland, and promote skill development alongside academics.
The NITI Nagaland team, during a recent meeting, reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to quality education, innovation and youth development in the state and adjoining areas, a commitment it said has been consistently demonstrated over the past 26 years.
