Eligible students renewing a Uttar Pradesh scholarship for 2026–27 should check which renewal category applies to them before submitting a form. For Post-Matric Other Than Intermediate, also called Dashmottar, the announced student application deadline is October 15, 2026. This category generally covers eligible courses beyond Class 12, including undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma and ITI programmes. Check the official portal today for the active form and any deadline update; an application is not complete just because the student has entered details online.
Renewal dates depend on the student’s course level
| Student group | Renewal application period | Next key stage |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Matric and Post-Matric Intermediate (Classes 9–12) | August 11–25, 2026 | Renewal payment was scheduled for October 25–31, 2026 |
| Dashmottar (courses beyond Class 12) | September 15–October 15, 2026 | Institution verification is scheduled through October 25 |
| Dashmottar fresh applicants | September 15–October 31, 2026 | This is a separate deadline from renewal |
Students in Classes 9–12 who missed the August renewal window should not assume the Dashmottar deadline applies to them. Likewise, a new applicant pursuing a course beyond Class 12 has a later application deadline than a returning scholarship recipient. The schedules and payment stages differ by category.
Steps for Dashmottar renewal
- Go to the official UP Scholarship portal.
- Select the Post-Matric Other Than Intermediate/Dashmottar renewal option for 2026–27.
- Log in using the details requested by the portal, including the previous registration information where applicable.
- Review personal, course, institution, previous-year and bank details. Correct errors before final submission.
- Submit the application, download the final printout and follow the portal or institution’s instructions for submitting the hard copy and supporting documents.
- Keep the application number and submission receipt so you can track the form later.
Before submitting, check that your course and institution details match your current enrolment, and that your bank account information is accurate. Keep requested certificates and academic records ready. Do not rely on last year’s saved information without reviewing it: renewal requires current-session details, and mismatches can delay verification.
What happens after submission?
The institution checks and forwards submitted applications. For Dashmottar renewals, the announced schedule places institutional verification through October 25, followed by verification by the university or affiliating agency, scrutiny and district-level processing. The published schedule lists later processing stages through January 2027, with a further fund-transfer window scheduled for January 16–25. These are planned milestones, not a guarantee that every application will be approved or paid on those dates.
After applying, sign in to the portal periodically and check whether the application is pending, forwarded, under verification or flagged for correction. If the status shows an issue, contact the scholarship office at your institution promptly and ask what action is required. Save the corrected form or acknowledgement. A timely submission, accurate details and completion of the institution’s verification steps all matter; students should rely on the current portal notice if the schedule changes.
