- Free-studentships are granted by Headmaster/Principal in the case of Government High/Higher Secondary Schools and by the managing committee (or by the Headmaster, if there is no managing committee) in the case of all other recognised schools to a limited number of poor pupils who have shown ability, good conduct and good progress in their studies. In Government schools the grant of a free-studentship will be made strictly contingent on proved poverty.(Government Resolution no. 3961-E., dated the 19th November 1925.)
