These documents should include the GATE/CEED scorecard and an active bank account linked with an Aadhar Card.
Only Aadhar-linked savings accounts are acceptable because the scholarship is disbursed through the Aadhaar Bridge Payment System (ABPS) via the Public Financial Management System (PFMS). No-frill accounts, Jan Dhan accounts, accounts with transaction/credit limits, and joint accounts are not allowed. Bank accounts should remain open and unchanged throughout the course.
In addition, students should upload scanned copies of their original Aadhar Cards and valid category certificates for SC/ST, EWS, OBC, and Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) categories, with the EWS and OBC/NCL certificates not exceeding one year from the date of issue.
Institutes must verify student data and approve their eligibility for scholarship disbursement through the portal. It is crucial for institutes to ensure the accuracy of the student's personal information, date of admission, course commencement, and completion.
