Question 1

What is NSP (National Scholarship Portal) and who is eligible?

Accepted Answer

NSP is the central government portal that hosts central, state, and UGC schemes. General undergraduate eligibility usually requires scoring in the top 20th percentile of your Class 12th board exams (approx 80%+ marks) and family income below ₹4.5 Lakhs/year.

Question 2

Can I apply for multiple scholarships at once?

Accepted Answer

As per central government rules, a student can typically receive only ONE government (Central or State) scholarship. However, you can often combine a government scholarship with a private corporate grant (like Tata or Reliance) as long as the corporate scholarship policy permits it.

Question 3

How does annual family income impact scholarship selection?

Accepted Answer

Most scholarships are "Merit-cum-Means," meaning they look at both high marks and financial status. Low-income thresholds (e.g. < ₹2.5 LPA) receive higher safety matching indexes and priority selection quotas in corporate funds.
