Rajasthan Scholarship Deadline Extended: Steps for Students and Schools

Students in Bikaner and other districts of Rajasthan have more time to complete their scholarship applications. The Department of Education, Rajasthan, has extended the last date for sending online scholarship proposals under several pre-matric and post-matric schemes.

The earlier deadline was July 31. The new deadline is August 31, 2026. Schools must send and lock eligible student proposals by this date.

Who is covered under the extended deadline?

The change applies to several pre-matric and post-matric scholarship schemes managed through the Rajasthan education system. These schemes support students at different school and post-school levels.

Students who have started the process but whose proposals are still pending should contact their school without delay. Those who have not yet submitted their details should first check their eligibility and complete the required steps through the school.

The extension gives schools more time, but it does not remove the need for checks. A proposal must be complete, verified, and locked before it can move ahead.

What schools have been asked to do

The education department has told all district education officers to speed up work on pending proposals. The number of proposals locked under some schemes remains low, so schools have been asked to prepare a clear work plan.

Schools should identify all eligible students and send their proposals at the school level. They must also guide students who need help with documents, bank details, or other records.

After submission, schools should check the information and complete manual verification wherever required. Once the details are found correct, the proposal must be locked. A proposal that is only filled in but not locked may not be treated as complete.

Why OTR-linked schemes need attention

Some scholarship schemes are linked with OTR. The department has asked schools to make a plan for these schemes and ensure that all eligible students are included.

OTR-related work can take time when student details do not match across records. Schools should review the information before sending the proposal. This can help reduce errors and prevent students from having to repeat the process.

Teachers and school staff can also keep a simple list of pending cases. The list may include students who need document checks, bank corrections, manual verification, or final locking. A small checklist can save a large amount of confusion. Paperwork may not be exciting, but missing one detail can make it feel like a school exam with no answer key.

Check Jan Aadhaar and bank details

One key instruction relates to bank information in Jan Aadhaar. A student may face a delay if the bank details are wrong or not entered in the record.

Students and parents have been advised to get these details corrected where needed. They should check the account information linked with Jan Aadhaar and report any error to the proper service centre or concerned office. They should also share the corrected details with the school so the scholarship proposal can be updated.

Before asking the school to lock the proposal, families should check:

• The student’s name and personal details
• Jan Aadhaar information
• Bank account details
• Course or class information
• Required documents and eligibility records

What students and parents should do now

1. Contact the school and ask whether the scholarship proposal has been submitted.
2. Confirm whether the proposal has passed manual verification.
3. Check that the proposal has been locked after verification.
4. Review Jan Aadhaar and bank details for errors.
5. Submit corrected information to the school as soon as possible.
6. Keep copies or screenshots of submitted details and correction requests.

Students should not wait for the final week. Schools may need time to check documents and correct records. Parents can help by checking the details early and staying in touch with the school.

Important deadline for Rajasthan scholarship proposals

The revised last date for sending and locking online scholarship proposals is August 31, 2026. District education officers and schools have been directed to increase the number of completed proposals and ensure that eligible students are not left out.

For any issue, students and parents should first speak with their school office. The school can confirm the scheme, check the proposal status, and explain the next step based on the student’s records.
