Only six days remain for key National Scholarship Portal renewals. Student submissions close on October 31, 2026. Institute and Level‑2 checks run in November. Also note UDID consent, the YASASVI Schools pause, face‑auth 904 fixes, and assisted‑service charges.
Renewals are open for the Central Sector Scheme of Scholarship for College and University Students. The Special Scholarship Scheme for Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh is also open. Student deadline is October 31, 2026. Institute verification closes November 15, and Level‑2 verification ends November 30. Submit early and confirm your institute’s internal cut‑off to avoid last‑day rejections.
UDID consent on UDID portal is now mandatory
For disability schemes, give consent on the UDID portal before applying. Without it, NSP will block submission. Log in at the Unique Disability ID (UDID) portal, open your dashboard, and enable data‑sharing for scholarships. Then return to NSP and proceed with your application.
PM YASASVI Top Class (Schools): fresh applications paused in 3 states
NSP has opened fresh YASASVI Top Class Education in Schools for most states. Students from Kerala, Rajasthan and Karnataka must wait; others can apply now. Check your school’s inclusion and seat availability before filling details, since eligibility depends on notified institutions.
Face-authentication error 904: quick fix and biometric unlock
If face authentication fails with error 904, update the UIDAI AadhaarFaceRD app from Play Store. If it still fails, unlock biometrics in your Aadhaar profile, then retry. You can lock again after OTR or submission. Keep steady light and position your face within the guide.
OTR at CSCs: official Rs 30 cap—avoid overcharging
One Time Registration (OTR) is free if you self‑register. At Common Service Centres (CSCs), assisted OTR plus form filing is capped at Rs 30. If asked for more, show the NSP announcement and request the official rate.
Today’s NSP checklist: documents, photo/ID specs and status recheck
Keep Aadhaar, bank passbook, income certificate, previous marks, and admission proof ready. Carry a recent photo. Disabled applicants also need UDID details. Upload clear scans under size limits, match names with Aadhaar, and submit during off‑peak hours. Recheck status under My Applications after institute action.
With six days left, act before the rush. Complete OTR, finish UDID consent if applicable, submit renewals by October 31, and track November verifications. Keep biometrics unlocked for face‑auth and carry the Rs 30 CSC note. Ten focused minutes today can save weeks later.
