      Hello Rajesh,

      The candidate's age must not exceed 35 (thirty-five) years. However, it's important to note that the National Overseas Scholarship for SC and ST candidates is currently not available as its deadline has passed. I suggest exploring alternative opportunities that are currently accessible.

      It's also a good idea to look into education loans first as the primary source of finance for your studies. Loans might assist in paying a greater amount of your school fees, even while scholarships might only cover a fraction of your charges. I wish you well as you make your decision!
