Applicants can apply for Jharkhand State Scheduled Caste Post-Matric Scholarship Scheme through the online application process outlined below.
Application Process
Student Registration:
The application has to be filed online on the scholarship e-Kalyan portal, which is designated by the Department of Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes, Minorities, and Backward Classes Welfare.
To begin the online registration form, students key in their Aadhaar number, name, date of birth, gender, and mobile number.
After Registration:
When validation is complete, the portal creates an application ID that students use for all further stages of the application.
Details of a bank account in the student's own name and linked with Aadhaar have to be provided.
The documents are then uploaded by the student on the portal.
NOTE: If the bank account given is in another person's name, the application will be rejected.
Verification by Educational Institutions:
Each online application, once submitted, is verified through the departmental portal by the institution or college concerned.
Applications left unverified by the institution/college are considered invalid.
NOTE: Offline applications are not accepted in any situation.
Instruction for Educational Institutions under the Post-Matric Scholarship Scheme:
Coverage under the scheme depends on the institution registering on the departmental scholarship portal before the stipulated deadline.
Institutions/colleges have to furnish whatever documents the Tribal Welfare Commissioner, Jharkhand, Ranchi, specifies.
The registration form, in its prescribed format, is made available on the scholarship portal by the Commissioner.
Institutions that fail to maintain the prescribed academic standards are not eligible.
To qualify, an institution/college needs a valid AISHE (All India Survey on Higher Education) or U-DISE (Unified District Information System for Education) code.
Registration is a one-off step on the portal and remains in force throughout the recognition period of the course.
The portal must carry up-to-date NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) or NBA (National Board of Accreditation) details for each institution.
The Tribal Welfare Commissioner confirms those details using the NAAC/NBA portal.
A self-audited report in the prescribed format goes to the Tribal Welfare Commissioner from every institution once every six months.
One Nodal Officer (Institute Nodal Officer - INO) per institution handles all scholarship matters and passes the necessary information on to the District Welfare Officer.
Institutions and hostels accommodating beneficiary students are required to put geo-tagged photographs on the departmental scholarship portal.
Once every three years, a two-member inspection team formed by the Tribal Welfare Commissioner physically inspects institutions located outside the state.
Any irregularities or errors detected in such inspections can be acted upon by the Commissioner as needed.
