UP Scholarship 2024-25 Revised Timeline: What Do AKTU Students Need to Do Before the New Deadlines?

aktu scholarship update !!

If you’re an AKTU student waiting for your scholarship or fee reimbursement, the last few days might have felt confusing — new notices coming in, changing dates, and nonstop checking of the portal. The good news is that the UP Government has now shared a clear revised timeline, and AKTU has released an official circular to make sure every college completes the verification process on time.

Let’s break this down in the simplest way possible so you know exactly what changed, what you need to do, and how to avoid delays in getting your scholarship.

Why This New Circular Matters Notice

First Page of circular.

UP’s Dashamottar (Post-Matric) Scholarship supports students from various deprived categories by reimbursing fees and offering financial aid. But because thousands of students apply every year, the scholarship process needs strict verification and coordination between:

1. Students
2. Institutes (Colleges)
3. AKTU / Affiliating University
4. District Social Welfare Departments
5. NIC (Technical scrutiny team)

The updated circular — issued by AKTU on 6 December 2025 and the UP Government on 18 November 2025 — ensures that no eligible student misses their benefit due to verification delays.

Think of it like this:

If your college doesn’t verify your application on time, your scholarship may not be released — even if your form was perfect.

What Triggered This Update?

1. The AKTU Circular — What It Means for Students

AKTU instructed all affiliated colleges to verify:

1. The authenticity of actual student count
2. The status of scholarship applications
3. The accuracy of all details filled by students

Every college director must submit an affidavit confirming:

1. Students in the application list are genuine and studying.
2. All applications were properly verified.
3. No incorrect or fraudulent information was forwarded.
4. No student has applied for another central scholarship.
5. No ineligible student was included.

In short, the university wants clean, verified, error-free applications before the government releases the funds.

2. The Government Order — Revised Timeline

The Social Welfare Department of the UP Government issued a new timetable for all steps: registration, verification, scrutiny, corrections, and final fund transfer.

This new timeline is now the official schedule for the 2024-25 scholarship cycle.

This is the timeline colleges and universities MUST follow — otherwise eligible students may miss out.

Step-by-Step Guide: What Each Process Means

Here’s a simple breakdown so you don’t get lost in official wording:

1. Registration & Document Submission

You fill your form online → take printout → submit to college with documents.

2. Institute Verification

Your college checks:

1. Attendance
2. Admission proofs
3. Fee details
4. Bank account + Aadhaar details
5. Eligibility category

If anything is missing, they reject or return your application for correction.

3. University Verification

AKTU checks actual student enrollment numbers using digital signatures to prevent fraud.

4. NIC Scrutiny

This technical check analyzes:

1. PFMS bank mapping
2. Aadhaar linking
3. Duplicate applications
4. Data inconsistencies

If errors are found, they appear in your student login during the correction window.

5. Student Corrections

You fix the highlighted errors → college verifies → forwards again.

6. Final Approval & Fund Transfer

District committee locks data → NIC generates demand → PFMS sends scholarship to your Aadhaar-linked bank account.

5 Conditions in Director’s Affidavit — Explained Simply

Your college director signs an affidavit confirming:

1. You are a real student (not a ghost entry).
2. Your form was genuinely verified by the institute.
3. Your data is correct and doesn't contain errors.
4. You did not apply for overlapping scholarships.
5. No ineligible student was forwarded.

Think of the affidavit as your college vouching for you in front of the government.
