Kohima: The Nagaland Department of Higher Education pushed the registration deadline for the government ex gratia scheme to September 30, 2026. This program covers indigenous Naga students currently enrolled in schools outside the state. The clock is ticking.
Families of students who pass away while studying in other parts of India can claim 5 lakh rupees in financial assistance. The payout serves as a safety net. This coverage applies specifically for the 2026-27 academic year.
Students must register through the Directorate of Higher Education to qualify for the benefit. The department confirmed that "registration forms for fresh applicants and renewals, along with detailed information on the scheme, are available for download from the Directorate's official website." Interested parties should gather their paperwork and submit it before the cutoff date.
