Whereas, the second category of the students who secured from 101 – 200 get Rs. 50 Lakhs as their reimbursements. Students’ fee reimbursement can get directly into their bank accounts. The amount will be paid in four installments. The first installment of the fee will be delivered to the student’s accounts after securing the land permit or I-94.

Earlier this AP Videshi Vidya Deevena Scheme is only applicable to only a few countries but now there are wide opportunities for the students who are enlisted on the top ranking. In the previous government the reimbursement for SCs, STs, and minorities was Rs.15 Lakhs and all the BCs and Kapus students were Rs. 10 Lakhs. They were not encouraged and oppressed by the upper-class people. So, the State Government has revamped all the guidelines. This is a great opportunity for the students and the government is helping them to fulfill their dreams through this AP Videshi Vidyadharana Scheme 2022.
