OTR: One Time Registration (OTR) is mandatory from the session 2025–26 for applying to any scheme on the UP Scholarship Portal (https://scholarship.up.gov.in).
Steps for Registration:
After successful OTR generation, the OTR Number will be displayed on the screen and also sent to the registered mobile number.
Only after this, the student will be eligible to apply for the UP Scholarship scheme.
It is a three-step process:
A. Mobile Number Authentication.
B. Aadhaar e-KYC.
C. OTR Number Generation.
Important Note: Only one OTR Number is permitted per student.
In case more than one OTR is found for a student, he/she will be liable for debarment from all scholarship schemes.
Scholarship Registration Process:
After generating OTR, the student must register on the Scholarship Portal using personal details such as Name, Father’s Name, College Name, and Mobile Number.
Upon successful registration, a Registration Number will be generated.
Filling the Application Form:
Students are required to fill the complete application form with accurate details.
The following information is mandatory: Income Certificate, Caste Certificate, Aadhaar Number, Bank Account Details, and other relevant personal and academic details.
All information must be filled in carefully to avoid rejection.
Biometric Authentication & Institute Verification:
The filled form is authenticated via biometric verification at the institute level.
After authentication, the institute forwards the application form for further processing.
Computerized Scrutiny:
All forms are scrutinized through an automated system to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Verification by District Scholarship Committee:
The District Scholarship Committee verifies the forms.
At this stage, students can check the status of their application to see whether it has been Accepted or Rejected.
Aadhaar-Based Fund Disbursement:
This is the final step in the scholarship process.
Funds will be transferred directly to the student’s bank account through the Aadhaar-Based Payment System.
Only students whose applications are Verified and Recommended by the District Scholarship Committee will receive the scholarship amount.
