SSP Karnataka Post Matric Scholarship 2026-27: Eligibility, Last Date, Apply Online, Documents & OTR Registration Details

SSP Karnataka Post Matric Scholarship 2026-27 – Eligibility, Last Date, Apply Online, Documents Required

The Karnataka State Scholarship Portal (SSP) has started accepting applications for the Post Matric Scholarship 2026-27, open to students studying in Class 11/PUC and above - including PUC, Diploma, ITI, Degree, Engineering, Medical, Nursing, B.Ed, Postgraduate, and other recognized post-matric courses. The scholarship is administered across multiple sponsoring departments - Social Welfare, Tribal Welfare, Backward Classes Welfare, Minority Welfare, Technical Education, Medical Education, and others - with different last dates for each department. Students who already have an SSP login can log in directly using their SSP Student ID and password; new applicants must first create an SSP account before applying online.

Before applying, students should keep their SATS ID (Student Achievement Tracking System ID), Aadhaar number, and Aadhaar-seeded bank account details ready, since the scholarship amount is credited only through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to an Aadhaar-linked account.

SSP Post Matric Scholarship 2026-27 – Overview

SSP Post Matric Scholarship 2026-27 – Last Date by Department

Note: Last dates for other sponsoring departments (Technical Education, Medical Education, Agriculture, Labour, Fisheries, etc.) were not listed on the source portal notice - check the official SSP portal for department-specific deadlines not covered above.

Date discrepancy flag: the SSP portal notice used as the source for this table lists the Tribal Welfare Department last date as 31/08/2026. Some other public scholarship trackers list the Tribal Welfare last date as 31/01/2027 instead. Since this directly affects whether a student misses the deadline, confirm the current date on the official SSP portal notice board before applying.

How to Apply for SSP Post Matric Scholarship 2026-27 - Step by Step

1. Visit the State Scholarship Portal homepage.
2. If applying for the first time, click "Create New Account" (applicable to both Pre-Matric and Post-Matric students) and complete registration.
3. If you already have an SSP account, click "Login to SSP Student Account to Apply for Post Matric Scholarship for FY 2026-27" and log in using your SSP ID and Password.
4. Complete e-KYC before proceeding - go to the "eKYC" menu, enter your Aadhaar number, and verify using the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
5. Step 1: Fill in your 10th standard details (SSLC/CBSE/ICSE/NIOS/KOS/IGCSE), Caste/Income Certificate details, Disability details (if applicable), and Personal details (district, taluk, assembly constituency, address, domicile status).
6. Step 2: Fill in your present academic year college/course details and previous year result details. If your college/university academic data is linked with SSP via UUCMS/UNIDATA, these details are auto-fetched; otherwise upload the required proof documents.
7. Step 3: Upload E-Attestation documents applicable to your case (e.g., Parent's Salary Certificate, Defence Certificate, Bonafide Certificate, SSLC/PUC marks card, previous year marks sheet) via the "Upload/View e-Attestation" module in PDF format (maximum 2MB per file).
8. Step 4: Fill in Day Scholar or Hosteller details. Select "Day Scholar," "Community Hostel," or "Department/College/University run hostel" as applicable, and fill in the relevant hostel details.
9. Ensure OTR (One Time Registration) is completed if applying under Social Welfare, Scheduled Tribe Welfare, or Backward Classes Welfare Department schemes - applications cannot be submitted without it.
10. Ensure your Aadhaar number is seeded with your bank account and mapped with NPCI, as scholarship disbursal for most departments requires an Aadhaar-seeded bank account. Note: Indian Post Payment Bank accounts are not accepted for Aadhaar seeding.
11. Step 5: Review all details filled in Steps 1 to 4 on the Preview screen. Confirm all details are correct, then submit the application.

Important: Once an application is submitted, it cannot be withdrawn. Wrong or incomplete details may lead to rejection by the concerned department, so applicants are strongly advised to verify all details carefully before final submission.
