They also received textbooks as per the NCERT curriculum in digital format (PDF), a certificate, and digital content (2D/3D animations, audio/video) for all subjects. Additionally, online coaching and a score improvement system (OLCSIS) were provided to science students.

Changes in 2020

In 2020, due to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the supply chain, students were given INR 20,000/- instead of a laptop computer. This decision was made considering the challenges faced by the government in procuring computers easily.
