The Dr. BR Ambedkar Scholarship for Mysuru SC/ST Students

SC and ST students in Mysuru and Mysore district can apply for the Dr. BR Ambedkar International Scholarship for fully funded UK and Australia study

I am S. Krishnamurthy, Senior Study Abroad Counsellor at Easy Admissions. Mysuru is one of Karnataka's most educationally active cities outside Bengaluru — home to the University of Mysore, JSS institutions, Maharaja's College, and several well-regarded engineering and arts colleges. Yet many SC/ST students from Mysuru and nearby districts remain unaware that they are eligible for a fully funded scholarship to study in the UK or Australia through the Karnataka government's Dr. BR Ambedkar International Scholarship.

This guide is specifically for students in Mysuru, Mandya, Chamarajanagara, Hassan, and Kodagu districts. It covers eligibility, the application process, how Easy Admissions supports Mysuru students remotely, and why acting now — before the end of June 2026 — is critical for the September 2026 intake.

Start with our free eligibility calculator to get an instant read on your profile. Then call 1800 102 9968 to speak with a counsellor directly.

What Mysuru Students Need to Know Specifically

Mysuru SC/ST students face a different set of practical challenges from Bengaluru applicants. Understanding these in advance means you can plan around them rather than being surprised by delays:

Challenge

What to Do

IELTS test centres in Mysuru

Mysuru has IELTS test centres but slot availability is more limited than Bengaluru. Book your test date immediately. If no slots are available in Mysuru within 3 weeks, travel to Bengaluru for an earlier date — the time saved on the overall application timeline is worth it.

Document processing timelines

Mysuru Tahsildar offices generally process caste and income certificate renewals in 2 to 4 weeks, similar to Bengaluru. Start immediately if your certificates are older than 12 months or if you need fresh copies.

Passport availability

Mysuru has a passport office but Tatkal processing is faster at Bengaluru RPO. If you need a passport urgently, consider applying at Bengaluru RPO for Tatkal processing (3 to 5 business days) versus standard processing (3 to 4 weeks).

No Easy Admissions branch in Mysuru

Easy Admissions' nearest physical office is in Bengaluru. All scholarship support for Mysuru students is provided fully remotely via phone, WhatsApp, and email. No travel to Bengaluru is required. Every step — eligibility, document review, SOP, university application, IGCCD submission — can be completed remotely.

Eligibility Criteria for Mysuru Region Students

The full eligibility guide is available in our detailed 2026 eligibility guide. For Mysuru district students specifically:

✅ SC or ST community — caste certificate from Mysuru District Tahsildar office (not from other states)

✅ Permanent resident of Karnataka — Mysuru or surrounding district address on Aadhaar or other documents

✅ Completed undergraduate degree from a recognised institution — University of Mysore affiliates accepted

✅ Below 40 years for PG | below 45 years for PhD (not 35 years — that is the outdated Prabhuddha figure)

Frequently Asked Questions from Mysuru Students

Do I have to travel to Bengaluru to get help from Easy Admissions?

No. Easy Admissions provides complete remote scholarship support for Mysuru students. Every step — eligibility assessment, document review, SOP drafting, university application, IGCCD submission, and visa documentation — is handled remotely via phone, WhatsApp, and email. Call 1800 102 9968 to start from Mysuru.

Is a degree from the University of Mysore accepted by UK and Australia universities?

Yes. The University of Mysore and its affiliated institutions are recognised by UK and Australia universities for PG admissions. Degrees from JSS Science and Technology University, NIE Mysuru, SJCE Mysuru, and Maharaja's College are also accepted. Easy Admissions verifies institutional recognition for each university application before submission.

Are students from Mandya, Chamarajanagara, Hassan, or Kodagu also eligible?

Yes. The Dr. BR Ambedkar International Scholarship is open to all permanent residents of Karnataka regardless of district. SC/ST students from Mandya, Chamarajanagara, Hassan, and Kodagu districts are all eligible and Easy Admissions supports them through the same fully remote process as Mysuru students.

The scholarship page I read says the age limit is 35. Is that right for Mysuru students?

No. The 35-year age limit is from the old Prabhuddha Overseas Scholarship scheme. The current Dr. BR Ambedkar International Scholarship under IGCCD Karnataka sets the age limit at below 40 years for PG programs and below 45 years for PhD programs. This applies equally to all Karnataka students including those from Mysuru. If you were told you are too old based on 35 years, call 1800 102 9968 to re-verify your eligibility.

Graduates from University of Mysore and affiliated institutions are eligible for UK and Australia universities under the Dr. BR Ambedkar scholarship
