The Rajasthan government has opened the online portal for scholarship schemes for the 2025–26 academic session. The Social Justice and Empowerment Department announced the move to help school and college students apply digitally. The last date to submit applications is January 31.
For the first time, the department has introduced a One-Time Registration system. Students must complete OTR before applying for any scholarship scheme. Director Ashish Modi said applicants need to register through the National Scholarship Portal website or the NSP OTR mobile app.
E-KYC and face authentication are mandatory to complete the process. Students must download the “NSP OTR App” and “AadharFaceRD App” to verify their identity. Without successful authentication, the application will remain incomplete.
After submitting the form, students should carefully verify all entered details. Officials advised applicants to create their own password and review entries, even if they apply through e-Mitra centres, cyber cafés, or educational institutions.
The department is offering paperless online applications for several scholarship schemes. These include SC, ST, SBC, OBC, EWS, Chief Minister Sarvajan Higher Education Post-Matric Scholarship, and schemes for Vimukt, nomadic, semi-nomadic, Mirasi, and Bhishti communities.
Eligible Rajasthan domicile students studying in government or recognised private institutions can apply. Students enrolled in national or state-level institutions outside Rajasthan may also apply, except for Classes 11 and 12.
Applications are available through the Social Justice portal or the SSO platform.
