Quick facts
About the role
The National Scholarship Portal (NSP) has officially opened the application window for the renewal of the PM-USP Central Sector Scheme of Scholarship for College and University Students, as well as the special scheme for students from Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh. This initiative is managed by the government to provide ongoing financial support to meritorious students pursuing higher education across India. To participate, students must possess a 14-digit One Time Registration (OTR) number, which serves as a unique identifier for their entire academic journey.
