Continuing education can involve both academic expenses and disability-related costs. The central post-matric scholarship provides several forms of support for eligible students after Class 10. It should be assessed as a set of fee ceilings and allowances, rather than advertised as one guaranteed cash payment.
| Eligible study | Class 11–12 and eligible diploma, degree or postgraduate study, subject to scheme conditions. |
|---|---|
| Disability threshold | Benchmark disability of 40% or more—not strictly greater than 40%. |
| Family income | Up to ₹2.5 lakh per year. |
| Essential records | UDID and Aadhaar, alongside the current application’s required evidence. |
| Student deadline | 31 October 2026, as listed on NSP. |
DEPwD’s published summary provides admission/tuition fee support up to ₹1.4 lakh and other compulsory fees up to ₹10,000, subject to eligible actual charges. It lists maintenance of ₹1,200 monthly for hostellers or ₹650 for day scholars, a ₹1,500 yearly book allowance and disability allowance of ₹2,000–₹4,000 annually.
The fee ceiling is not an automatic ₹1.4 lakh grant. Your study, residence status and verified fees determine which components apply. Use the detailed specifications for the current session to check payment conditions.
Post-matric and Top Class Education are separate entries within the disability scholarship framework. Do not copy an institution list or benefit table from one component into the other. The department’s summary also limits support to two children with disabilities from the same parents and restricts receipt of another scholarship or stipend.
NSP’s current announcement asks students with disabilities to log into the UDID portal and consent to sharing their UDID details before applying. Follow that official process yourself or with a trusted helper; keep login credentials and identity documents private.
If you need assistance, ask the institution’s scholarship nodal officer to explain an unclear field before submission. Correct information is more useful than guessing an answer to finish quickly.
Read the live specifications and announcements before applying, especially if a deadline or rule has changed. JobJet is an independent information website; it does not sanction scholarships or collect applications.
