How scholarships work in Rajasthan

Rajasthan processes scholarships through its single sign-on portal noted in the intro above. The Chief Minister's Higher Education Scholarship supports students moving into college, while the Widow/Divorcee Chief Minister (B.Ed) Sambal Scheme helps a specific group of women train as teachers. Because the two target different students, the table shows a separate window for each.

National schemes are linked just below and can be claimed alongside a state award. Treat the windows shown as a prompt to check the portal rather than fixed closing dates.

National scholarships Rajasthan students can also claim

These 10 schemes are funded by the central government rather than by Rajasthan, so students here can apply for them too. Open each one to check its eligibility rules, award amount and its own application window. Most run through the National Scholarship Portal.

• Post Matric Scholarship for SC Students
• Post Matric Scholarship for OBC Students

Documents the Rajasthan schemes ask for

Why Rajasthan applications get rejected

Each of these has cost real applicants a scholarship they qualified for. They are specific to the Rajasthan schemes on this page, not the generic national-portal mistakes.

• Having outdated or incorrect family income details in the Jan Aadhaar database, which causes an automatic rejection. — Chief Minister's Higher Education Scholarship
• Failing to renew the scholarship in the second or third year of the degree course. — Chief Minister's Higher Education Scholarship
• Applying despite having completed Class 12 from a board other than RBSE, without checking if the rules have been updated to include it. — Chief Minister's Higher Education Scholarship
• Attempting to apply without updating the marital status on the Jan Aadhaar card, which causes the portal to block the application. — Widow/Divorcee Chief Minister (B.Ed) Sambal Scheme
• Applying while enrolled in a distance-learning or correspondence B.Ed. course, as the scheme only covers regular programs. — Widow/Divorcee Chief Minister (B.Ed) Sambal Scheme
• Not providing a legally recognized divorce decree or death certificate, as affidavits alone are often insufficient. — Widow/Divorcee Chief Minister (B.Ed) Sambal Scheme
