UP Scholarship Portal Reopens: 3.16 Lakh Students Get Second Chance to Claim Funds

UP’s Saksham Scholarship portal reopens today, September 1, giving 3.16 lakh post‑matric students a second chance after 2025–26 technical issues. The Social Welfare Department says all eligible categories — Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, General, and Minority — may reapply on scholarship.up.gov.in. Finish early to avoid bottlenecks.

Minister Asim Arun said 3,16,057 pending cases span government, aided, and private institutions. For verified applications, direct bank credits are targeted between September 29 and October 2. Students should complete relock and institutional forwarding well before the queue builds.

Who is eligible in the UP scholarship reopen window

This window is for students eligible in 2025–26 who missed benefits due to portal glitches, server load, or delayed institutional forwarding. It covers SC, ST, OBC, General, and Minority students across recognised institutions. Fresh 2026–27 applicants and already‑paid beneficiaries are outside this reopen. Check institute notices before reapplying.

Exact reapply dates and payment timeline

The portal reopens on September 1, 2026. The department has indicated credits for verified cases between September 29 and October 2. The closing date will be published on the portal; monitor daily alerts and avoid last‑day submissions.

Step‑by‑step: relock, institute forwarding, DWO verification

Log in, review details, correct errors, and Final Lock (relock). Download the printout and submit it to your institute for verification and forwarding. District Social Welfare Officers then verify and sanction eligible cases. Track each hop on your dashboard and respond quickly to defects.

Bank seeding and PFMS status checks

Ensure your Aadhaar is seeded to the correct bank in the NPCI mapper; confirm on myAadhaar or the Bharat Aadhaar Seeding Enabler. Near disbursal, track “Know Your Payments” on PFMS. If no hit appears, reseed with your bank and recheck.

Documents, helplines, fraud caution and portal tips

Keep Aadhaar, domicile, caste, income, current fee receipt, admission proof, and passbook with IFSC ready. For unresolved issues, raise a Jansunwai grievance or call 1076; for centrally sponsored queries, use the NSP helpdesk. Avoid agents and fees. If servers strain, retry late evening.

Today’s reopen offers a clean route to clear last year’s backlog. Start with profile checks, relock, institute submission, and DWO tracking, then monitor PFMS around September 29–October 2. Keep documents handy, ensure Aadhaar seeding, and escalate promptly if stuck. Acting now protects your semester finances.
