It must be mention here that, students alleged that more than 1945 students has applied for scholarship through MS Yarkum enterprise, according to the forms submitted. There are many students from various districts as well as from students who are studying outside the state. They had to opt for MS Yarkum enterprise to fill the forms because many times in the previous year they made mistake in filling up the forms and the fear of being rejected.

But the 90 % of the forms are not in selected or the rejected list.
