Kya aap UP ke ek student hain jise har saal scholarship ka intezaar rehta hai?
Kya aap bhi in sawaalon mein se kisi ka jawab dhundh rahe hain – “UP Scholarship ka form kab se bhurega?”, “OTR kya hota hai?”, ya “Mera paisa kyun nahi aaya?”
Toh yeh article bilkul aapke liye hai.
Uttar Pradesh mein har saal 85 lakh se zyada students UP Scholarship ke liye apply karte hain. Lekin ek bahut dardnaak sach yeh hai – out of 85 lakh applications submitted in 2025-26, only 18.64 lakh students received their payment – meaning nearly 78% of forms were either rejected or stuck at some verification stage.
Isliye sahi jankari hona bahut zaroori hai – form fill karna jaanna zaroori hai, OTR kya hai yeh samajhna zaroori hai, aur documents sahi rakhna bhi zaroori hai.
Toh aao, sab kuch shuru se samjhte hain.
UP Scholarship 2026-27 – Kya Hai Yeh Scheme?
UP Scholarship Uttar Pradesh government ki ek bahut important financial aid scheme hai. Iske zariye SC, ST, OBC, Minority aur General category ke students ko free education ke liye paisa milta hai.
Yeh scholarship sirf tuition fees nahi deti – balki kai cases mein maintenance allowance bhi milta hai – matlab roz ke kharche ke liye bhi madad hoti hai.
Scheme do hisson mein divided hai:
Pre-Matric – Class 9 aur 10 ke students ke liye
Post-Matric – Class 11, 12, graduation, post-graduation aur diploma students ke liye
Ek zaroori baat – yeh sirf UP ke schools aur colleges mein padhne wale students ke liye hai. Doosre states mein padhne wale UP ke students eligible nahi hote.
UP Scholarship 2026-27 Important Dates – Ek Nazar Mein
Yeh section sabse important hai. Kyunki date miss ho gayi toh form nahi bharega – aur scholarship nahi milegi.
| Category | Fresh Application Start | Fresh Application Last Date | Renewal Last Date |
| Pre-Matric (Class 9-10) | 11 August 2026 | 21 September 2026 | 25 August 2026 |
| Post-Matric Inter (Class 11-12) | 11 August 2026 | 21 September 2026 | 25 August 2026 |
| Dashmottar (Degree/Diploma/PG) | 15 September 2026 | 31 October 2026 | 15 October 2026 |
Ek bahut zaroori baat – Dashmottar (Degree/Diploma) students ke liye portal 15 September 2026 ko khulega. Isliye graduation ya PG students September 15 se pehle portal par fresh form submit nahi kar sakte.
Isliye renewal students pehle apply karen – kyunki unki deadline bahut jaldi aa rahi hai – 25 August 2026.
OTR Kya Hota Hai – Aur Kyun Zaroori Hai?
Yeh woh point hai jahan zyaadatar students confuse ho jaate hain.
One Time Registration has been mandatory on the UP Scholarship Portal since the 2025-26 session and continues for 2026-27.
Matlab – OTR (One Time Registration) ek unique number hai jo portal par aapki permanent identity banta hai. Ek baar OTR generate ho gaya – toh har saal yahi number use hoga.
OTR ke bina scholarship form fill nahi ho sakta. Isliye pehle OTR karo – phir form.
OTR Ke Liye Kya Chahiye?
- Active mobile number – jo sirf aapke naam par hona chahiye
- Aadhaar card – eKYC ke liye
- Aadhaar-linked mobile number – OTP ke liye
OTR Kaise Karein – Step by Step
Step 1 – scholarship.up.gov.in par jaao aur “One Time Registration” select karo
Step 2 – Apna active mobile number authenticate karo – OTP se
Step 3 – Aadhaar eKYC complete karo – face authentication ya OTP se
Step 4 – OTR number generate hoga – yeh number apne phone mein save karo aur screenshot lo
Ek critical warning – only one OTR is allowed per student; creating multiple OTRs may lead to debarment. Isliye galti se bhi ek se zyada OTR mat banao.

- Fee details – tuition fees ka certificate
- Bank details – account number, IFSC code – bilkul sahi bharein
Step 4 – Documents Upload Karein
Documents list neeche di gayi hai – sab pehle se scan karke ready rakhein. Kyunki portal par time waste karne se server timeout ho jaata hai.
Step 5 – Final Submit Karein
Sab details ek baar dhyan se check karo. Phir submit karo. Acknowledgement number save karo – screenshot lo.
Step 6 – Hard Copy School/College Mein Jama Karein

Documents Jo Chahiye Honge 2026-27 Mein
| Document | Kab Chahiye |
| Aadhaar Card | Compulsory – identity + eKYC |

| School/College Enrollment Certificate | Academic verification ke liye |

| Income Certificate | Category-wise income limit proof ke liye |
| Caste Certificate | SC/ST/OBC/Minority ke liye |
| Previous Year Marksheet | Renewal ke liye |
| Passport Size Photo | Recent, white background |
Sabse zaroori document – Income Certificate. Iske bina form process nahi hogi.
Agar aapka Income Certificate abhi nahi bana hai, toh pehle yeh banwao. Income Certificate online banwane ka poora process yahan hai – Income Certificate Online Apply 2026
Eligibility – Kaun Apply Kar Sakta Hai?
Category-wise Income Limit
| Category | Pre-Matric Income Limit | Post-Matric Income Limit |
| General | ₹1,00,000 per year | ₹2,00,000 per year |
| SC/ST | ₹2,50,000 per year | ₹2,50,000 per year |
| OBC | ₹1,00,000 per year | ₹2,00,000 per year |
| Minority | ₹2,00,000 per year | ₹2,00,000 per year |
Yeh income family ki total annual income hai – sirf baap ki nahi, ghar ke sare earning members ki milake.
Other Eligibility Conditions
- UP ka permanent resident hona chahiye
- UP ke recognized school/college mein padhna chahiye
- Regular student hona chahiye – distance education eligible nahi
- Pehle se kisi doosri state se scholarship nahi le raha hona chahiye
Scholarship Amount – Kitna Milta Hai?
Yeh sawaal sabse zyada poochha jaata hai. Toh clearly samjhein:
Scholarship amount fixed nahi hoti – yeh actual tuition fees ke hisaab se milti hai. Matlab jitni fees bharte ho, utna hi reimbursement milta hai.
Lekin ek upper limit hoti hai jo government set karti hai:
| Level | Maximum Amount (Approximate) |
| Class 9-10 | ₹3,500 – ₹5,000 per year |
| Class 11-12 | ₹5,000 – ₹8,000 per year |
| Graduation | ₹8,000 – ₹15,000 per year |
| Post-Graduation | ₹10,000 – ₹20,000 per year |
Iske alawa minority students aur SC/ST students ko kuch cases mein maintenance allowance bhi milta hai.
Paisa Kab Aayega – Timeline Kya Hai?
Yeh sabse frustrating question hai har student ka. Toh honestly batata hoon:
Application submit hone ke baad ek lambi process hoti hai:
October–November – School/College verification hoti hai
November–December – District Welfare Officer (DWO) verification
December–January – PFMS se payment release
January–March – Actual bank account mein credit
Toh typically January ya February mein paisa aata hai – agar sab kuch sahi ho. Lekin agar koi issue hai toh March ya baad mein bhi aa sakta hai.
Sabse Common Reasons – Paisa Kyun Nahi Aata
Yahan se start karo troubleshooting. Agar scholarship reject hui ya payment nahi aayi, toh in reasons mein se koi ek hoga:
Reason 1 – Aadhaar Bank Se Link Nahi
Sabse common problem. Ek common error hai “Rejected by Bank, Aadhaar Not Enabled for DBT.” Iska matlab hai NPCI Aadhaar seeding nahi hui.
Fix: Apni bank branch par jaao aur “DBT/NPCI Aadhaar Seeding” form bharo.
Reason 2 – Galat Bank Details
Account number ya IFSC ek digit bhi galat hoga toh payment bounce ho jaayegi. Isliye bank passbook se copy-paste karke bharo – manually mat likhna.
Reason 3 – Income Certificate Expired Ya Invalid
Income certificate current year ka hona chahiye. Purana certificate accept nahi hoga.
Reason 4 – School/College Ne Forward Nahi Kiya
Kai baar students ka form complete hota hai lekin school ne portal par forward nahi kiya. Isliye school office mein regularly follow-up karo.
Reason 5 – Hard Copy Jama Nahi Ki
Online submit ke baad hard copy jama karna compulsory hai. Agar nahi ki, toh application automatically reject ho jaayegi.
Renewal Students Ke Liye – Kya Alag Karna Hoga?
Agar aapne pichle saal scholarship li thi aur is saal bhi lena chahte hain – toh yeh kaam karo:
Renewal ke liye fresh OTR ki zarurat nahi – purana OTR number kaam karega. Lekin fresh documents upload karne honge – current year ke. Previous year ki marksheet zaroori hai – pass hone ka proof. Bank account same rakhein – kyunki account change karna ek alag aur slow process hai.
Renewal deadline bahut jaldi hai – Class 9-12 ke liye 25 August 2026. Isliye abhi se documents ready karo.
UP Scholarship Status Kaise Check Karein
Apply karne ke baad status track karna zaroori hai.
PFMS Se Status Check Karein
- pfms.nic.in par jaao
- “Know Your Payments” section mein jaao
- Bank account number aur IFSC enter karo
- Status dikh jaayega – paid ya pending
scholarship.up.gov.in Se Status Check

- Registration number enter karo
- Current stage dikh jaayegi – verified, forwarded, payment released etc.
