The Bihar Student Credit Card Yojana (BSCC) allows eligible students from Bihar to pursue higher education in recognized institutions across India, including Tamil Nadu. Loan approval is granted only when the selected institution is officially recognized and listed under the MNSSBY portal.
Tamil Nadu is home to premier institutions including IITs, NITs, Central Universities, State Universities, Medical Colleges, Engineering Institutions, Arts & Science Colleges, and Management Institutes. Students must verify eligibility before taking admission to avoid loan rejection during DRCC verification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Bihar Student Credit Card Scheme in Tamil Nadu
1. Can a permanent resident student of Bihar apply for the Bihar Student Credit Card Scheme to pursue higher education in an approved college located in Tamil Nadu?
Yes, a permanent resident of Bihar is eligible to apply for the Bihar Student Credit Card (BSCC) scheme to study in Tamil Nadu, provided the selected institution is recognized by UGC, AICTE, or the relevant regulatory authority. The institution must also be listed in the official MNSSBY database. Final loan approval is granted only after successful DRCC verification of the college and course.
2. What categories of colleges and universities in Tamil Nadu are considered eligible under the official Bihar Student Credit Card Scheme guidelines?
Both Government and Private institutions in Tamil Nadu may be eligible if they meet recognition and compliance requirements. Eligible institutions generally include:
- Central and State Universities
- Engineering and Technical Colleges
- Medical, Pharmacy, and Nursing Institutions
- Arts, Science, and Commerce Colleges
- Management and Professional Institutions
Recognition and regulatory approval remain mandatory for funding eligibility.
3. Is it compulsory to verify whether the Tamil Nadu institution is listed on the official MNSSBY portal before confirming admission and fee payment?
Yes, students are strongly advised to verify the institution on the official MNSSBY portal before taking admission. If the college is not listed or recognized during DRCC verification, the loan application may be rejected. Verifying eligibility beforehand helps avoid financial risk and unnecessary admission complications.
4. How does the District Registration and Counseling Center (DRCC) verify Tamil Nadu colleges before approving the BSCC education loan application?
During the verification process, DRCC officials conduct a detailed review of the selected institution. They typically check:
- Recognition and statutory approval status
- Course eligibility under BSCC norms
- Accreditation validity where applicable
- Correct district and state information of the institution
Loan sanction is processed only after all compliance checks are cleared.
5. Are private deemed universities and autonomous institutions in Tamil Nadu eligible for funding under the Bihar Student Credit Card Scheme?
Private deemed universities and autonomous institutions can be eligible if they are approved by UGC and comply with applicable regulatory guidelines. However, eligibility depends on listing in the official Bihar government database. Students must confirm institutional approval before finalizing admission or paying significant fees.
6. What is the maximum education loan amount provided under the Bihar Student Credit Card Scheme for pursuing approved courses in Tamil Nadu colleges?
Under the BSCC scheme, eligible students can receive an education loan of up to ₹4,00,000. This amount is intended to cover tuition fees and other approved academic expenses as per scheme norms. The loan is disbursed directly to the institution in stages based on the course duration and verification status.
7. What steps should a student take if their selected Tamil Nadu college does not appear in the approved list under the Bihar Student Credit Card Scheme?
If the institution is not appearing in the approved list, students should take the following steps carefully:
- Recheck the exact spelling of the institution name
- Verify recognition status from official regulatory websites
- Consult the nearest DRCC office for clarification
- Avoid paying non-refundable admission fees before confirmation
Proceeding without verification may result in rejection of the loan application.
8. Are professional and technical programs such as Engineering, Medical, MBA, MCA, Pharmacy, and other specialized courses in Tamil Nadu covered under the BSCC scheme?
Yes, professional and technical programs are generally covered under the BSCC scheme if they are offered by recognized institutions. The course must comply with approvals from regulatory councils such as AICTE, NMC, PCI, or other relevant bodies. Final eligibility is determined during institutional and document verification.
9. Can a student request a change of Tamil Nadu college after the Bihar Student Credit Card loan has already been approved and sanctioned?
Changing the institution after loan approval is possible but requires fresh verification and formal approval from authorities. The student must immediately inform DRCC and submit updated admission documents. Failure to follow the proper process may result in delay, suspension, or cancellation of the loan.
