Uttar Pradesh's post-matric scholarship and fee reimbursement, open to SC, ST, OBC, general and minority students, run on two separate schedules.
Social Welfare Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh · Study in India
The 2026-27 schedule was released on 20 July 2026 and runs as two separate tracks with different deadlines. One Time Registration with Aadhaar e-KYC is mandatory before you can apply at all, and only one OTR is permitted per student. Start checking the official site between September 2026 and October 2026.
These dates appear consistently across unofficial trackers. We have not confirmed them against the official portal, so we show them as reported and run no countdown on them. Treat them as a reason to check the portal today, not as a deadline to rely on.
Around 84 lakh students applied in 2025-26 and under 19 lakh were verified as beneficiaries. The gap is mostly process failure, not ineligibility. The two-track schedule is the trap: a Class 12 student and a first-year degree student have different deadlines six weeks apart, and mixing them up costs the year.
tuition fee reimbursement, maintenance allowance. Levels funded: higher secondary, undergraduate, postgraduate.
Record status: partially_verified. Last checked: 2026-09-13. The schedule above is reported consistently across several unofficial trackers but has not been confirmed against the portal, so Admitics shows it as reported rather than as a published deadline and runs no countdown on it. If you are in Uttar Pradesh, open the portal today rather than trusting any third party, including us. Source: https://scholarship.up.gov.in/
