❓ Frequently Asked Questions — NSP 2026
NSP portal లో ఒకే student రెండు scholarships కి apply చేయవచ్చా?
Generally, a student can apply for only one scholarship scheme at a time on NSP to avoid duplication. However, there are cases where students may be eligible for both a pre-matric and post-matric scholarship simultaneously or a central and state scheme. The portal has inbuilt checks to prevent duplicate applications for the same type of scholarship.
NSP scholarship payment ఎందుకు రావడం లేదు?
Common reasons for NSP payment failure are: bank account not Aadhaar-seeded, incorrect IFSC code entered, application pending at institute or district, application rejected due to document issues, or technical issues with DBT payment. Check application status on NSP portal and contact your college nodal officer or district welfare office to resolve issues.
