The Mukhyamantri Nishchay Swayam Sahayata Bhatta Yojana (MNSSBY) — popularly known as the Bihar Student Credit Card (BSCCS / DRCC) — provides up to ₹4,00,000 in education loan at simple 4% interest (1% for girls, transgender, and divyang students) for Class 12 pass students from Bihar.
Quick answer
Under current Bihar Education Finance Corporation guidelines, outside-Bihar colleges are eligible for DRCC Student Credit Card sanction ONLY if the institution holds a valid NAAC Grade 'A' (or above), NBA accreditation for the specific technical programme, or features in the official NIRF ranking list.
