Pragyan Bharati Scooty Scheme 2025 – Assam Free Scooty Merit List Released
The Government of Assam continues its mission to empower meritorious students with the Pragyan Bharati Scheme 2025, aimed at rewarding academic excellence among Higher Secondary students. Under this flagship initiative, eligible students are provided with free scooters to support their pursuit of higher education.
This progressive scheme is designed not only to encourage scholastic achievements but also to enhance student mobility across the state—bridging the gap between ambition and access.
What is the Pragyan Bharati Scheme?

Now, all students scoring 80% or above in the Higher Secondary Final Examination conducted by the Assam State School Education Board (ASSEB) will be eligible for a free scooter—either electric or petrol-based.
