MPTAAS post matric scholarship supports Madhya Pradesh students from SC, ST, and OBC communities who are studying in Class 11 or above, including diploma, degree, postgraduate, and professional courses. The scheme covers tuition fees and a maintenance allowance, paid directly into the student’s Aadhaar-linked bank account. This guide explains eligibility, benefits, and the application process in detail.
What MPTAAS Post Matric Scholarship Covers
Unlike pre-matric scholarship, which applies only up to Class 10, post-matric scholarship covers a much wider range of courses. Therefore, it remains the most commonly claimed scheme on the MPTAAS portal.
| Course Level | Covered Under Post Matric |
|---|---|
| Class 11 and 12 | Yes |
| Diploma / ITI | Yes |
| Undergraduate (UG) | Yes |
| Postgraduate (PG) | Yes |
| Professional courses (Engineering, Medical, Law) | Yes |
| Below Class 10 | No, covered under pre-matric scheme instead |
Eligibility Criteria
- Must be a permanent resident of Madhya Pradesh.
- Must belong to the SC, ST, or OBC category with a valid caste certificate.
- Must be enrolled in a recognised post-matric institution, government or private.
- Family annual income must fall within the limit prescribed for your category.
- Must have an active MPTAAS profile with completed Aadhaar eKYC.
If you have not confirmed your eligibility yet, use the MPTAAS eligibility checker before you start the application, since it flags common disqualifying issues in advance.
How to Apply for MPTAAS Post Matric Scholarship
- Complete your MPTAAS profile registration if you have not already.
- Log in with your Profile ID and select the post-matric scholarship scheme.
- Fill in your course, institute, and bank account details.
- Upload your caste certificate, income certificate, and marksheet.
- Submit the form, then track it through your institute for verification.
Once your institute verifies the application, the department processes payment through DBT. As a result, keeping your bank account Aadhaar-seeded well before applying prevents last-minute payment failures.
Why Applications Get Rejected
The most frequent rejection reasons include income certificates that exceed the category limit, mismatched names between Aadhaar and caste certificate, and incomplete institute verification. In contrast, students who cross-check every document against their Aadhaar spelling before submission rarely face this issue.
