Portal glitch halts scholarship applications in Kanpur
A technical glitch in the scholarship portal has left students in Kanpur unable to complete their applications, nearly a month after the process began. The problem arises because bank branch names do not display during the application process, preventing students from filling in mandatory bank account and branch details.
To resolve the issue, the Social Welfare Department has sent a list of 688 bank branches along with their IFSC codes to the directorate. The list is intended to help fix the portal's dropdown menu so that students can select their branch and proceed with their applications.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The portal glitch directly affects thousands of students who rely on scholarships for their education, and the delay compounds their financial uncertainty. The Social Welfare Department's response, sending a list of 688 bank branches, addresses the symptom rather than the underlying technical fault, leaving students waiting for the directorate to update the system. Without a public deadline for the fix, applicants have no clarity on when the portal will work properly.
