Existing scholarship holders must submit renewal applications by 15 October 2026. First-time applicants can apply online until 31 October 2026. Renewal applicants must also submit a hard copy of the form to their college by 15 October. For fresh applicants, the hard copy submission deadline is 4 November 2026. Applicants are advised to check guidelines for their course and category on the official portal scholarship.up.gov.in before applying. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The staggered deadlines create a tight window for renewal applicants, who must complete both online and offline steps by 15 October. First-time applicants get a longer period, but the hard copy requirement adds an extra step after online submission. Students must verify category-specific eligibility on the portal, as general, OBC, SC, ST and minority rules differ. The official website remains the only source for updates and application tracking. ## Coverage - prabhatkhabar.com Straight deadline and procedural details, no government praise or criticism This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
