UP Opens Dashmottar Scholarship Window with Renewals Due Oct. 15 and Fresh Forms by Oct. 31
Officials say payments will be made by Direct Benefit Transfer after institutional verification, meaning applicants must register on the official portal with correct Aadhaar‑linked bank details.
Overview
- The Post‑Matric Other Than Intermediate (Dashmottar) application window opened on September 15, with renewal applications closing on October 15, 2026 and fresh applications on October 31, 2026.
- Dashmottar covers students pursuing undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, ITI and other post‑Class‑12 courses and applicants must complete any required One Time Registration on scholarship.up.gov.in.
- All applications must be submitted and tracked only through the official UP Scholarship portal to avoid delays or fraud and students should print and submit forms to their institution for verification where required.
- Applications go through institutional and departmental verification before approval, and approved awards are transferred by Direct Benefit Transfer to Aadhaar‑linked bank accounts, so errors in personal, academic or bank details can block payment.
- The state has already moved funds to beneficiaries, reporting a transfer of more than ₹148 crore to about 4.6 lakh students on October 3, 2026, and officials expect staged Dashmottar disbursements between December 2026 and January 2027 while Classes 9–12 payments follow separate windows.
