Don't get caught out
- Applying is only the first step. Your school or college must verify the application by November 15, so remind the office to do it.
- If your application is marked defective, fix it before November 15.
- Keep your income details, category proof and J&K domicile papers ready, and check the exact document list on the official portal, scholarships.gov.in, before applying; we have not checked it ourselves today.
Other J&K scholarship windows for SC and ST students have already passed their student deadlines, according to the same listing, so this is the live one.
