NSP Scholarship Biometric Authentication: The government decided to re-validate the application after taking into account the results of the physical verification of institutes/beneficiaries for the academic year conducted by the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER), wherein various discrepancies in the authenticity of institutes/beneficiaries have been noticed.
As the payment of Scholarships will only be conducted through the Aadhaar Payment System, candidates are advised to double-check that the Aadhaar number provided is seeded with the Bank Account in order to ensure fast delivery of the Scholarship amount.
These candidates must complete NSP Scholarship Biometric Authentication for their scholarship applications before 25, at CSC centers in front of the Head of the Institution or International Nominating Official.
