Reliance Foundation UG Scholarship 2026-27: Eligibility, ₹2 Lakh Support & Selection

Hello students! The Reliance Foundation UG Scholarship 2026-27 application window closed at 11:59 PM IST on 5 October 2026. This page is now a dated reference for eligibility and for applicants who already submitted; do not assume a new application window is open. Eligible first-year students can receive up to ₹2 lakh across their degree.

Applicants who submitted should use the official portal to check their aptitude-test slot. The separate bank-account/PAN deadline was 18 October 2026 and has passed. If this section remains incomplete, check current portal status and contact Reliance Foundation through its official support route; do not assume late completion will be accepted. Do not pay anyone who promises selection.

The scholarship is merit-cum-means based. The official page says up to 5,000 undergraduate scholars may be selected. Applying is not the same as being selected, and every applicant must complete the mandatory online aptitude test.

What the aptitude test includes

The official page describes a 60-minute online test with 60 multiple-choice questions. It covers verbal ability, analytical and logical ability, and numerical ability.

  • Verbal ability: Focus on reading, vocabulary in context and accurate interpretation.

  • Analytical and logical ability: Practise patterns, statements, arrangements and data-based reasoning.

  • Numerical ability: Revise arithmetic, percentages, ratios and basic data interpretation.

How selection works

  3. Academic and personal information is evaluated.

  4. Selection is made on a merit-cum-means basis.

  5. Selected scholars receive the official communication through the programme’s stated channel.

Do not trust a payment request that promises selection. Use only the application and contact routes on the official scholarship site.

Optional preparation support

Coaching is not required to submit this scholarship application. Use the official aptitude-test guidance and sample questions first.

Do not buy a full CAT or bank course solely for this application or accept promises of scholarship selection.
