Maximum Entitlement
Maximum Entitlement
This is the fourth major change (along with the basic level, hardship supplement and fees.) Under the STB students are entitled to assistance for two undergraduate and one graduate degrees.
Under the new scheme assistance is available for a maximum of five years or two recognised courses — whichever is the lesser. Hence entitlement can be exhausted in four years if a student does an undergraduate degree in three years and a one year post-graduate course.
