The Uttar Pradesh Dashmottar scholarship portal is live for the 2026–27 academic year, and two separate deadlines apply depending on whether you are a renewal or fresh applicant. Submitting your application online on time is necessary—but not sufficient. Bank account seeding and institutional verification must also be completed before the deadline.
The Social Welfare Department, Government of Uttar Pradesh, has set October 15, 2026 as the closing date for renewal applications and October 31, 2026 for fresh applications under the Dashmottar scholarship, which covers post-Intermediate courses including graduation, post-graduation, diploma, and ITI programs. Applications are submitted at `scholarship.up.gov.in`. The scheme provides fee reimbursement through the UP government’s own state portal. Institution-level verification and forwarding must also be completed before the respective cutoffs—an online submission alone does not finalize your application.
Applications submitted after the listed deadline may not be accepted. Under DBT rules, your bank account must be active and correctly seeded for Direct Benefit Transfer; if payment details are incorrect, disbursement can fail even after approval. Resolve any account or documentation issues before submitting.
Mandatory Checklist: Bank Account and Document Verification
Two requirements cause most rejected applications. First, your bank account must be correctly seeded for DBT. Check with your bank whether your account is active and linked for direct benefit transfer before submitting your application.
Second, ensure that your name and date of birth in your application documents match your academic certificates. If there is a mismatch, resolve it before registering rather than after submission, by following Aadhaar update requirements where Aadhaar correction is needed.
What is the last date for UP Scholarship 2026–27 Dashmottar application?
Renewal applicants must submit by October 15, 2026. Fresh applicants have until October 31, 2026. Both deadlines apply to the student portal at `scholarship.up.gov.in`. Institutional verification and forwarding must be completed by those same dates.
After submitting, collect your institution’s acknowledgment receipt as proof of forwarding. Application status can be tracked on the portal. A correction window is typically available in late November or December depending on applicant category—check the portal for the exact schedule.
