The Uttar Pradesh (UP) Scholarship Correction process is one of the most important stages for students who have made mistakes while filling out their scholarship application form. Every year, the UP Government provides an opportunity for students to correct details such as name, marks, income, category, bank details, or uploaded documents. This ensures that deserving students don’t lose their scholarship benefits due to minor errors.
This article provides a complete guide on UP Scholarship Correction — including dates, last date, documents required, correction process, and step-by-step guide for both Pre-Matric and Post-Matric students.
The UP Scholarship portal (scholarship.up.gov.in) allows students to make necessary corrections after form submission. It is mainly applicable for:
| Event | Details |
|---|---|
| Department | Department of Social Welfare, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh |
| Scholarship Type | Pre Matric & Post Matric |
| Correction Window Opens | After Verification Stage |
| Mode | Online via official portal |
| Official Website | scholarship.up.gov.in |
The correction window usually opens after the verification process. During this time, students can log in and make necessary edits. The correction process is allowed only once, so all information must be checked carefully before submitting again.
| Event | Expected Timeline |
|---|---|
| Correction Start Date | To be announced soon after verification |
| Correction Last Date | Usually 10–15 days after start date |
| Portal | https://scholarship.up.gov.in |
Note: Once the correction window closes, no further edits can be made. Hence, students should verify every detail before final submission.
Students can correct the following mistakes in their form:
Before making any correction, make sure you have the following documents ready for uploading or verification:
Go to the official website scholarship.up.gov.in.
Click on “Student” section and select your category — Pre-Matric or Post-Matric. Use your Registration Number, Date of Birth, and Password to log in.
Once logged in, you’ll see the “Correction” link activated. Click on it to open your filled form.
Carefully review all sections — personal details, educational details, and bank information. Edit the required fields.
If documents were previously rejected or unclear, re-upload them in the correct format (PDF/JPEG under specified size).
After reviewing the updated information, click on “Submit and Lock Correction”. Once locked, no changes can be made again.
Take a printout of the corrected form and submit it to your institution for further verification and forwarding.
Many students face issues like incorrect spelling of name or wrong marks entry. Here’s how to handle it:
After submitting your correction form, follow these steps to track the status:
If you face any issues during correction, contact the official helpline numbers:
| Department | Helpline Number |
|---|---|
| Social Welfare Department | 18001805131 |
| Backward Class Welfare | 18001805229 |
| Minority Welfare Department | 18001805130 |
Important: Students must correct their forms before the last date; otherwise, the application may be rejected automatically during verification.
Each year, thousands of applications are rejected due to minor errors in bank details, names, or income information. The correction process gives students a fair chance to fix these issues and ensure that their scholarship amount is released smoothly. Correcting details also helps maintain accurate records for future renewals.
If you are renewing your scholarship and have made any mistake, you can also edit your renewal form using the same process. However, you must ensure that your marks and bank details match your previous year’s approved records.
After the correction is submitted, your institution will verify the data and forward it to the district welfare officer. Once approved, the scholarship amount is credited directly to your bank account through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer).
