Many students received forwarded messages saying the ePASS scholarship “closes tomorrow”. A report in late July clarified that the welfare departments had not announced a single hard deadline for the 2026-27 cycle; colleges may set their own internal timelines.
Checklist before you apply
- Your name must match on Aadhaar and your SSC certificate.
- Biometric authentication is done at MeeSeva centres.
- A seven-year study certificate is needed to prove local status.
- Keep income and caste certificates valid for the current year.
Our advice
Apply early, keep your application number, and check dates only on the official ePASS portal or with your college scholarship section – not on WhatsApp forwards.
