MP Post Matric Scholarship 2026-27: Last Date, Eligibility & Apply Online

The MP Post Matric Scholarship 2026-27 offers tuition fee reimbursement and monthly maintenance allowance to SC, ST and OBC students in Madhya Pradesh studying from Class 11 to PhD. Applications are submitted via the MPTAAS portal and MP Scholarship Portal 2.0 (hescholarship.mp.gov.in). On this page, everything you need to know — eligibility, income limit, documents, and the step-by-step application process.

The scheme runs through two portals:

• MPTAAS portal (tribal.mp.gov.in/MPTAAS) — for SC/ST/OBC students under the Tribal Welfare and Scheduled Castes Welfare Departments
• MP Scholarship Portal 2.0 (hescholarship.mp.gov.in) — for scholarships routed via the Higher Education Department

MP Post Matric Scholarship 2026-27: Latest Updates

• Portal 2.0 in use: Applications continue through the upgraded hescholarship.mp.gov.in portal alongside MPTAAS for SC/ST/OBC categories.
• Aadhaar eKYC mandatory: Aadhaar-based eKYC is compulsory for both new registration and profile updates. Without it, DBT payment cannot be processed.
• NSP One-Time Registration (OTR) required: Before completing many state-level applications, students must first finish OTR on the National Scholarship Portal (scholarships.gov.in).
• 2026-27 dates awaited: Official application dates for the 2026-27 session had not been formally notified at the time of writing. Based on previous years, the window has typically opened between July and November and closed between December and January — but this changes annually, so treat any specific date online as provisional until confirmed on the official portal.
• Renewal window: Students renewing from a previous year (2nd, 3rd, or 4th year of study) should watch for the MPTAAS renewal deadline, which has generally fallen around January in past cycles.
