Verification record

Source:: Prime Minister's Education Assistance Trust — official e-service portal (eservice.pmeat.gov.bd)

Status:: Next cycle not announced

Evidence: Official PMEAT e-service portal (eservice.pmeat.gov.bd), fetched directly on 2026-10-21: the ভর্তি সহায়তা (admission assistance) section describes financial assistance for poor and meritorious students (দরিদ্র ও মেধাবী শিক্ষার্থীদের শিক্ষা প্রতিষ্ঠানে ভর্তিতে আর্থিক সহায়তা) at 'মাধ্যমিক পর্যায়ে ৫০০০ টাকা, উচ্চ মাধ্যমিক পর্যায়ে, ৮০০০ টাকা এবং স্নাতক ও সমমান পর্যায়ে ১০,০০০ টাকা' (secondary ৳5,000; higher secondary ৳8,000; undergraduate ৳10,000), paid since FY2014-15, with online applications and EFT/mobile-banking disbursement of stipends.

Verified 2026-10-21 by direct fetch of the official portal — the fetch whose failure kept this programme in the review queue now succeeds. CONFLICT FLAGGED: the portal's standing rates (৳5,000 / ৳8,000 / ৳10,000) differ from the amounts reported for the 2026 cycles from the Trust's guidelines (৳4,000 classes 6–10; ৳6,000 Class XI/Alim; ৳8,000 first-year undergraduate; guardian income below ৳300,000). Per protocol the conflict is recorded, not averaged: the funding summary shows the most recent cycle's guideline figures and the portal's standing rates are quoted here. No cycle is currently open, so no opensAt/deadline is stored.
