If you are a girl from the MBC category (Gurjar, Raika, Rebari, etc.) in Rajasthan, you are actually in a very lucky spot—you qualify for two different scooty schemes. But here is the warning: You can only pick one.

Every May, I see hundreds of girls lose their chance because they applied for both, leading to a “Duplicate Application” rejection. So, which one is better for your career? Let’s break it down in plain English.
1. The Main Difference: What Do You Get?
| Feature | Kali Bai Bheel Yojana | Devnarayan Scooty Yojana |
| Primary Benefit | A Free Scooty (Petrol or EV) | Free Scooty OR Cash Incentives |
| Long-term Benefit | One-time gift | Yearly cash if you don’t get a scooty |
| Merit List Size | 30,000+ Scooters (All categories) | ~4,240 Scooters (MBC Only) |
| Eligibility Marks | 65% (RBSE) / 75% (CBSE) | 50% (Minimum to apply) |
2. Why Devnarayan is Often Better for MBC Girls
The Devnarayan Scheme is a “double-win” for the MBC community. Here’s why:
-
The “Safety Net”: In Kali Bai, if your marks aren’t high enough to make the merit list, you get nothing.
-
The Cash Alternative: In Devnarayan, if you aren’t in the top 4,240 girls to get a scooty, the government doesn’t just forget you. They give you ₹10,000 every year during your Graduation and ₹20,000 every year during your Post-Graduation.
3. The “Cut-Off” Strategy
Which one is easier to “win”?
-
Choose Kali Bai if: You have 92%+ marks. Since the total number of scooters is huge (30,000), your chances of getting a physical scooty are very high.
-
Choose Devnarayan if: Your marks are between 75% and 85%. You might not get the physical scooty, but you are almost guaranteed to get the ₹10,000 annual cash incentive, which helps pay for your college fees and books for years.
4. Can I Switch Later?
No. Once you submit your application on the SSO portal for one scheme, switching to the other is a technical nightmare. You have to get your first application “Withdrawn” by your college principal, which can take weeks.
