The Government of Rajasthan have officially opened Study Abroad 100% Scholarship applications for the 2026 intake of the Swami Vivekananda Study Abroad Rajasthan Scholarship (SVSAE) (previously Rajiv Gandhi Scholarship, RGSAE). And this year, there’s a landmark change:
📌 Only 150 students admitted to the Top 50 Universities in the world (as per Times Higher Education – THE Rankings 2025) will be eligible.
Earlier, the scheme covered Top 150 universities worldwide. The new reform focuses on excellence and aims to ensure that Rajasthan’s brightest students pursue their degrees only in the most prestigious institutions globally.
For students across Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Ajmer, Bhilwara, Sikar, and beyond, this is a golden opportunity—but it also comes with stricter requirements, sharper competition, and the need for expert guidance.
At Easy Admissions (West Headquarter, Jaipur), we specialize in SVSAE Study Abroad Rajasthan Government applications, RGUHS scholarships, and global education pathways. Over the years, we’ve helped many students like Admaya (Queen Mary University of London), Dinesh (University of Bristol), and Rahul (University of Toronto) secure fully funded government scholarships and live their study abroad dreams.
Let’s walk you through everything you need to know about SVSAE 2026—from eligibility and categories (E1, E2, E3) to timelines, universities, documentation, and how Easy Admissions can help you secure this life-changing opportunity.
