If you searched for “Rajasthan Free Scooty Yojana 2026” expecting one single scheme covering Class 8 and Class 12 toppers together, here’s the correction worth knowing upfront: there is no standalone Class 8 scooty scheme. What actually exists are two separate, real Class-12-pass merit schemes, each tied to a specific reservation category, plus a third unrelated disability scheme that sometimes gets lumped in under the same “free scooty” umbrella by aggregator sites. This page covers all three accurately, so you apply to the one you’re actually eligible for. Last updated: 10.07.2026.
The three schemes, not one
| Rajasthan scooty scheme | Who it is for | Selection basis |
|---|---|---|
| Kali Bai Bheel Scooty | SC, ST, EBC, minority and nomadic community girls. | Class 12 merit list only. |
| Devnarayan Scooty | MBC girls such as Gurjar, Raika and Rebari. | Class 12 merit, with a cash fallback. |
| Divyang Scooty | Persons with 40% or more disability. | Disability certificate, not marks. |
Note: The full names are Kali Bai Bheel Medhavi Chhatra Scooty Yojana, the Devnarayan Scooty Distribution and Incentive Scheme, and the Mukhyamantri Divyang Scooty Yojana. MBC includes related communities too.
If you’re an MBC-category student, you can apply to Devnarayan or Kali Bai but not both, applying to both triggers an automatic “Duplicate Application” rejection on the SSO portal, which is one of the most common complaints every cycle.

Note: The SSO portal takes applications for all three schemes, and the department site carries the Kali Bai details. Related pages: CM Kisan is Rajasthan’s own farmer top-up. The Social Security Pension pays Rs 1,450 a month to 91 lakh-plus beneficiaries. Palanhar status is checked by Jan Aadhaar or application ID.
If you’re waiting on your Class 12 result and planning around this, keep your SSO ID and caste/income certificates ready now, the merit list window moves fast once results are declared, and a missing document at that stage can cost you the deadline entirely.
Kali Bai Bheel scheme, merit only
Purely merit-based. A limited number of scooties go to the highest-scoring SC/ST/EBC/minority/nomadic girls who passed Class 12 from a Rajasthan board that year. If you’re not inside that merit cutoff, there’s no consolation cash amount under this particular scheme. You either make the list or you don’t.
Eligibility
- General/EWS candidates need roughly 65%+ in RBSE Class 12; reserved-category candidates need roughly 50%+, exact cutoffs shift year to year based on the merit list, so these are indicative, not guaranteed thresholds.
- Family annual income below ₹2.5 lakh.
- Science-stream applicants must be enrolling in a Polytechnic or Technical Diploma/B.Tech course to qualify under this stream.
- You must not have already received a scooty or similar incentive at the Class 10 stage under a related scheme.
Devnarayan scheme for MBC students
Same Class 12 merit-list mechanism, but for MBC (Most Backward Class) students, and with an actual fallback: if you clear the eligibility bar but miss the roughly 4,240-seat merit cutoff for a physical scooty, you’re not left with nothing. You get ₹10,000/year during your Graduation and ₹20,000/year during Post-Graduation instead, paid as an incentive rather than a vehicle.
Eligibility
- MBC category, Gurjar, Raika, Rebari, and the other communities notified under Rajasthan’s MBC list.
- Class 12 pass with 50%+ marks.
- Family income and residency conditions broadly mirror the Kali Bai scheme.
Divyang scheme, a different one entirely
This one has nothing to do with academic toppers. It’s for persons with 40% or higher disability, regardless of marks. The 2026 application window ran 12 June to 31 July 2026 via the SSO portal. If your interest is disability-based rather than merit-based, this is the scheme to check, not the two above.
Scooties this year, and the model given
Checked the Directorate of College Education’s own tender papers on 04.09.2026. The department is still at the buying stage for this cycle: an Expression of Interest for scooty make, model and price discovery was issued on 18.08.2026 and corrected again on 28.08.2026, which means the vehicles for 2026-27 have not been bought, let alone handed over. The corrigendum also states the phased quantities plainly, and they are worth knowing because they are the real measure of your chances: about 88,000 scooties in all, split as 24,000 for 2024-25, 29,000 for 2025-26 and 35,000 for 2026-27. This year’s slice is the biggest of the three. The department says the beneficiary list will be published on its own website.
| Scooty distribution | Tender papers |
|---|---|
| Total scooties | About 88,000 are being given over three years. |
| 2026-27 quota | 35,000 scooties are planned for 2026-27. |
| Earlier years | 24,000 went out in 2024-25 and 29,000 in 2025-26. |
| Petrol model | The engine must be at least 100cc and BS-VI compliant. |
| Electric model | The battery must be 2.2 kWh or more with 70 km+ range. |
| Battery warranty | It covers three years or 50,000 km with full replacement. |
| Payment | Money goes directly to the manufacturer or dealer, not the student. |
| Merit list | The list appears on the HTE department website. |
Note: Scooties are distributed in phases. The petrol model must meet BS-VI OBD2 Phase B norms. The electric model needs a top speed of 65 kmph or more and LFP or NMC cells with a battery management system. The warranty is backed by the manufacturer, and the list location comes from the same corrigendum.
To apply, log in at the Rajasthan SSO portal with your SSO ID once the window opens after the Class 12 board result, fill in your marksheet, category, income and college admission details, and upload Aadhaar or Jan Aadhaar, caste certificate, income certificate (family income below ₹2.5 lakh a year), bonafide certificate and bank passbook. A provisional merit list is published first with a window to raise objections, and the final merit list follows.
Documents needed
- Aadhaar or Jan Aadhaar card
- Class 12 marksheet
- Caste certificate (SC/ST/EBC/minority/nomadic for Kali Bai; MBC for Devnarayan)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there really a Class 8 scooty scheme in Rajasthan?
No. No standalone Class 8 scooty scheme exists in any current official source. The two real schemes, Kali Bai Bheel and Devnarayan, both run on the Class 12 merit list, and a separate scheme covers persons with 40% or more disability.
How many scooties are actually given out?
About 88,000 across three years per the tender papers: 24,000 in 2024-25, 29,000 in 2025-26 and 35,000 for 2026-27, distributed in phases.
What model is supplied?
Either a petrol scooter of at least 100cc meeting BS-VI OBD2 Phase B norms, or an electric model with a battery of at least 2.2 kWh, a range of 70 km or more and a top speed of 65 kmph or more.
What warranty comes with the electric model?
Three years or 50,000 km on the battery with 100% replacement, backed by the manufacturer.
Can I apply to both Kali Bai and Devnarayan?
Only if your category qualifies for both, which is rare among the communities the two schemes cover. Applying to both usually gets rejected as a duplicate, so pick the one your Class 12 merit claim actually falls under.
Does any money reach the student?
No. Payment goes to the manufacturer or its authorised dealer directly, and the selection list appears on the Higher Technical Education department's own website per the same corrigendum that fixed the 35,000 figure for 2026-27.
