The 21 students from Qatar secured admission to different institutes to pursue their studies, including prestigious Indian universities, such as IITs and NITs. 

A total of 150 scholarships were awarded to children of Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs).

Under the SPDC scheme, financial assistance for specific undergraduate courses in Professional and Non-Professional courses (except Medical and related courses) is provided towards tuition fees, admission fees, and post-admission services. The scheme applies to NRIs and PIOs from 66 countries.
