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.

Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar confirmed that several schools in both urban and nearby rural areas received similar threatening emails. He said the police treated the matter with utmost seriousness. Authorities deployed gazetted officers at every affected school while anti-sabotage and bomb disposal teams carried out thorough inspections. Cyber Police teams have also begun tracing the origin of the emails.

A senior administrator of a prominent private school said the threat arrived on the institution’s official email ID. The school director immediately flagged it. “Student safety comes first. We closed the school for the day. Even if this turns out to be a hoax, we cannot take chances after recent security incidents,” the principal said.

Another major school alerted police instantly, following which bomb squads searched the entire campus. Deputy Commissioner Dalwinder Singh convened an emergency meeting to assess the situation. District Education Officer Rajesh Sharma said officials are coordinating closely with school managements and police to ensure safety and restore normalcy.

Students had claimed that the demands were essential to restore democratic functioning at the university and resolve disputes linked to last year’s events. Their key demands included scrapping the “non-democratic” vetting committee, dissolving the panel reviewing affiliation of Haryana colleges, halting the PUCSC constitution and SOP until consultations with student groups, withdrawing the civil suit filed against student bodies, cancelling FIRs registered during last year’s Senate election protests, and dropping the inquiry against Prof. Kulwinder Singh and Prof. Sudhir Mehra.

Before the decision, PU Bachao Morcha held marches across all hostels, raising slogans such as “Mitti Dhun Rabab Di, Punjab University Punjab Di.” Students from rural areas celebrated by organising a tractor march across campus.
