Required Documents
Students are advised not to wait for the deadline and complete all formalities well in advance. The application form must be accompanied by an Aadhaar card, a copy of the bank passbook, a previous class marksheet, an income certificate, a caste certificate (if applicable), and a passport-size photograph. It's also important to ensure that the bank account is linked to Aadhaar and that there are no errors in the student's name, as incorrect information may prevent the scholarship amount from being credited to the account.

Scholarships will be credited directly to students' bank accounts through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer). Therefore, students should exercise caution when applying and fill in all details correctly. The government's goal is to ensure eligible students receive timely assistance and allow them to continue their studies without financial stress.
