UP scholarship site down for a week, hundreds miss renewal deadline
The Uttar Pradesh scholarship scheme website has been non-functional for a week, preventing students from renewing their scholarship forms. The renewal deadline was Thursday, 15 October 2026, but the site displayed a 'We Are Sorry' error throughout the day, leaving hundreds of students from DS College, SV College and Mangalayatan University unable to complete the process.
Students from classes 11 and 12, undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma engineering and ITI courses were affected. They visited Lokvani centres and cyber cafes in vain. The technical glitch persisted despite the deadline passing, and no official update on a possible extension has been announced.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The website failure directly affects students who now face losing their scholarships for the current academic year. The state government has not yet announced a revised deadline or alternate arrangement, leaving the affected students in limbo. The outage raises questions about the digital infrastructure for welfare schemes. The next concrete development to watch is whether the state extends the renewal window or fixes the site.
