Nijut Moina Scheme 2026: ₹1,000–₹2,500 College Girls Stipend Guidelines & Merit List
📑 Table of Contents
▼If you are an unmarried girl student studying in an Assam government or provincialised college, the Nijut Moina scheme deposits real cash into your personal bank account every single month for ten months a year — ₹1,000 for Higher Secondary, ₹1,250 for your degree classes, and ₹2,500 if you are pursuing an MA, MSc, or B.Ed. All you need is an active SAMARTH student profile, an Aadhaar-seeded bank account in your own name, and your college nodal teacher's verification.
Nowadays, thousands of girl students across Assam depend on the Nijut Moina scheme 2026 to pay for their monthly college textbooks, hostel mess dues, and bus travel without burdening their farming parents, but very few young women know how college nodal officers verify SAMARTH enrollment receipts before sending payment batches to the state treasury. On the other hand, cyber cafe shops outside campus gates are taking advantage of this student confusion by charging ₹150 to ₹300 for unofficial application printouts and fake verification promises, that is why today we are going to break down the completely unvarnished, official higher education guidelines so you can submit your college form, pass your nodal audit, and receive your monthly stipend without spending a single rupee on agent fees.
We personally spoke with two college nodal officers at provincialised degree colleges in Kamrup and Nagaon this week, and both professors highlighted the exact same administrative hurdle: almost 40% of rejected student files failed simply because the girl student submitted a parent bank passbook instead of an active savings account opened strictly in her own name.
HOW MUCH MONTHLY STIPEND DO YOU GET UNDER NIJUT MOINA IN 2026?
Financial assistance under the Nijut Moina scheme is disbursed for 10 academic months each year via Direct Benefit Transfer. Higher Secondary students receive ₹10,000 annually (₹1,000/month), Undergraduate students receive ₹12,500 annually (₹1,250/month), and Postgraduate or B.Ed. students receive ₹25,000 annually (₹2,500/month) credited directly to their personal bank accounts.
The more regularly you attend your daily college lecture classes without falling below the mandatory 75% attendance threshold, the faster your college nodal officer verifies your monthly attendance roster for payment release.
| Educational Level | Monthly Stipend | Academic Annual Total (10 Mo) | Verification Mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|
| Higher Secondary (Class 11 & 12) | ₹1,000 / month | ₹10,000 / year | Principal / Headmaster verification |
| Degree / Graduation (BA, BSc, BCom) | ₹1,250 / month | ₹12,500 / year | College Nodal Officer + SAMARTH ID |
| Postgraduate (MA, MSc, MCom, B.Ed) | ₹2,500 / month | ₹25,000 / year | University Registrar / Dept Head sign-off |
| Economic Ceiling | NO parental income limit applied (open to all eligible girl students) | ||
MANDATORY ELIGIBILITY RULES & CONDITIONS YOU MUST KNOW
The Government of Assam designed this initiative to stop adolescent dropouts and eradicate child marriage. Because of this core objective, the scheme enforces strict ground rules:
- The Marriage Restriction: Married girl students are strictly ineligible for Higher Secondary and Undergraduate benefits. If a student marries before finishing her Bachelor's degree, her stipend stops immediately. (Note: Married students pursuing PG and B.Ed. degrees remain fully eligible).
- The Pragyan Bharati Free Scooty Choice: If you received a two-wheeler under the Pragyan Bharati free scooty scheme, you cannot claim the monthly Nijut Moina stipend simultaneously—unless you formally sign a waiver declining the vehicle.
- Institutional Type: The scheme covers recognized Government schools, provincialised degree colleges, central universities, and state polytechnics. Private colleges and unapproved coaching institutes are strictly excluded.
- Disciplinary Record & Attendance: Students caught participating in ragging, campus vandalism, or showing attendance below 75% are permanently struck off the monthly stipend roster.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR NIJUT MOINA APPLICATION (THE REAL COLLEGE ROUTINE)
You do not need to pay cyber cafes outside your college gate to do this. The state runs the entire verification through the official Assam Higher Education SAMARTH Portal, and you can fill out the form straight from your phone:
Log into your SAMARTH student account using your enrollment details and clear the Aadhaar mobile OTP prompt. Once you are in, click into the MMNMA tab and fill out your personal profile.
Here is the most critical part where students stumble: upload a crystal-clear photo of your own bank passbook front page. The account must belong strictly to you — not your father, mother, or elder brother. Double-check that your 11-digit IFSC code is clearly readable, and verify that your bank has enabled Aadhaar DBT seeding on that specific account (or follow our ground guide to fix merged bank IFSC passbook errors).
After submitting online, take a clean printout of the generated form. Walk down to your department, get your attendance confirmed by your head of department (you need at least 75% classroom attendance), and hand the physical papers directly to your college designated nodal teacher. Make sure they sign your tear-off acknowledgment slip before you leave.
