The Union government revised the INSPIRE-Scholarship for Higher Education allocation method, basing quotas on Class 12 examinee numbers instead of applications. This change caused a 66% drop in scholarships for Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad students, while increasing allocations for Bihar and CBSE students. In 2024, UP students accounted for 49% of applications and 6,129 provisional selections out of 12,000 scholarships nationwide.
