The Rajasthan Ekal Dwiputri Yojana formally notified by the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE), Ajmer in February 2026 stands as one of the state’s most direct financial instruments for recognising girls from families that chose to raise only daughters, combining academic merit with a social incentive that rewards gender-progressive households with prize amounts ranging from ₹11,000 at district level to ₹51,000 at state level.
The scheme draws its authority from RBSE’s annual scholarship and awards framework and sits squarely within the national Beti Bachao Beti Padhao agenda targeting girls who secured state-qualifying or district-qualifying marks in the RBSE Secondary (Class 10) and Higher Secondary (Class 12) examinations of 2025.
Girls who appeared in the Vocational, Senior Upadhyay, or Praveshika examinations under RBSE also qualify under separate sub-categories, provided they meet the relevant cut-off thresholds.
Understanding the Yojana’s Core Purpose
The Ekal Dwiputri Yojana targets two distinct family types those with only one daughter and no male children, and those with exactly two daughters and no male children. By restricting eligibility to these household structures, the scheme simultaneously encourages academic excellence among girls and provides a measurable financial reason for families to value daughters as highly as sons.
Reports suggest the scheme has distributed crores in prize money since its inception across multiple annual cycles, with RBSE Ajmer administering the entire process from notification through disbursement.
A special provision allows families with three children where exactly two are twin daughters with no male children to qualify under the same framework, even though they technically have more than two children.
Prize Amount Structure: Every Category Explained
RBSE sets separate prize amounts for state-level and district-level merit positions:
State Level Prizes:
| Examination Category | Prize Amount |
| Higher Secondary — Science, Commerce, Arts | ₹51,000 |
| Higher Secondary Vocational Examination | ₹51,000 |
| Senior Upadhyay Examination | ₹51,000 |
| Secondary Examination (Class 10) | ₹31,000 |
| Secondary Vocational Examination | ₹31,000 |
| Praveshika (Entrance) Examination | ₹31,000 |
District Level Prizes:
| Examination Level | Prize Amount |
| Class 12 (all streams) | ₹11,000 |
| Class 10 (all categories) | ₹11,000 |
Prize money disburses directly to the student’s own bank account no cash payment is made at any stage of the process.
Cut-Off Marks: Who Makes the Merit List
Students must meet these minimum aggregate scores to appear on the state-level merit list:
| Examination | State Level Cut-Off |
| Secondary (Class 10) | 585 marks |
| Secondary Vocational | 594 marks |
| Higher Secondary — Science | 490 marks |
| Higher Secondary — Commerce | 486 marks |
| Higher Secondary — Arts | 489 marks |
| Higher Secondary Vocational — Science | 338 marks |
| Higher Secondary Vocational — Commerce | 338 marks |
| Higher Secondary Vocational — Arts | 470 marks |
| Senior Upadhyay | 467 marks |
| Praveshika | 534 marks |
Students whose scores fall below state-level cut-offs may still qualify for the ₹11,000 district-level prize if their marks exceed the district-specific threshold published in RBSE’s district merit list alongside the main notification.
