NSP Scholarship Eligibility & Amount Estimator

Wondering which NSP scholarship schemes you actually qualify for, and how much money you could receive? This free NSP scholarship eligibility and amount estimator asks you four quick questions — education level, category, income, and disability status — and instantly shows the central government scheme categories you are most likely to match, along with an indicative amount range for each.

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, and no account or OTP is required. The results are indicative only — always confirm your exact eligibility and amount on the official राष्ट्रीय छात्रवृत्ति पोर्टल before applying.

How to use the NSP eligibility checker

Select your current education level, your category, and your family’s annual income in lakhs. Consequently, the tool matches your inputs against the common NSP scheme categories — Pre-Matric, Post-Matric, Central Sector, Top Class Education, AICTE technical scholarships, and minority scholarships — and shows every category you are likely to qualify for. Furthermore, if you tick the disability checkbox, the tool also checks DEPwD scholarship eligibility.

However, this estimator cannot replace the official NSP eligibility check tool, which uses your exact state, institution, and course details. Therefore, treat these results as a starting point, not a final answer, and always confirm before you begin your NSP OTR registration.

NSP eligibility & amount — frequently asked questions

How accurate is this eligibility estimator?

The tool is based on the general eligibility patterns of common NSP scheme categories. As a result, it is a good starting guide, but exact income limits and amounts differ scheme by scheme and are revised most years. Always cross-check on the official portal before applying.

What is the income limit for NSP scholarships?

There is no single income limit for all NSP scholarships. Pre-Matric and Post-Matric scholarships for SC/ST students commonly use a limit close to ₹2.5 lakh, while OBC, minority, and merit-based central schemes often allow up to ₹4.5–8 lakh, depending on the specific scheme guidelines.

क्या मैं उसी समय एक से अधिक एनएसपी छात्रवृत्ति के लिए आवेदन कर सकता हूँ?

Usually not for the same academic year. Most central schemes do not allow dual benefits, so you should read the “conditions for availing other scholarships” listed under each individual scheme on NSP before applying to more than one.

Do I need to complete OTR before checking eligibility?

No. You can check eligibility before registering. However, once you decide which scheme fits you, you will need to complete One-Time Registration (OTR) on NSP before you can actually submit an application.
