Post matric Scholarship CG 2026: Registration, Login, How to apply, Documents and Eligibility

The CG post matric scholarship supports Chhattisgarh students from SC, ST and OBC backgrounds who are studying in class 11 and above. It is run by the state’s tribal and social welfare departments and paid straight into your bank account through DBT. This guide explains the post matric scholarship CG eligibility, registration, login and the full apply process for the current cycle.

Overview at a glance

Chhattisgarh runs its post matric scholarship through a single state portal that connects with the National Scholarship Portal and Aadhaar. It is meant for SC, ST and OBC students who have crossed the matric stage and are now in class 11, 12, a degree, a diploma or a professional course. Because payments go by Direct Benefit Transfer, an active, Aadhaar-seeded bank account is just as important as your certificates.

Here is a snapshot of the key facts before we go into the details. Use it as a quick reference while you prepare your application.

What the scholarship gives you

The scholarship is paid through Direct Benefit Transfer to your Aadhaar-seeded bank account, covering students across class 11, class 12, undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma and professional courses. Bringing every scheme onto one portal also cuts paperwork, since much of the verification happens online once your e-KYC is complete. The exact amount depends on your category, course and the scheme you qualify for, with separate provisions for technical and professional courses such as engineering, medical, nursing and polytechnic study. Because the portal verifies your details against state databases, accurate certificates and a matching bank record make the difference between a quick sanction and a long delay.

Eligibility criteria

Check every point below before you spend time on the application. Most rejections happen because a basic eligibility condition was not met, not because of weak marks.

• You must be a permanent resident of Chhattisgarh.
• You must belong to the SC, ST or OBC category with a valid caste certificate.
• You should be studying in class 11 or above, including UG, PG, diploma and professional courses.
• Your family income must be within the ceiling fixed for your category.
• You must have a valid caste certificate from a competent authority.
• Aadhaar e-KYC authentication is mandatory for final approval.

Documents needed

Keep clear, properly scanned copies of these documents ready in the formats and sizes the portal asks for. Having them prepared in advance saves you from last minute errors.

• Caste certificate from a competent authority
• Domicile or residence certificate of Chhattisgarh
• Income certificate of the family
• Birth certificate or age proof
• Previous year mark sheet
• Aadhaar card for e-KYC
• Bank passbook with an Aadhaar-seeded active account
• Recent passport-size photograph

Registration process

Registration creates the account you will use for the whole application. Follow these steps in order.

1. Complete your NSP OTR on the National Scholarship Portal using Aadhaar.
2. Open the CG portal at postmatric-scholarship.cg.nic.in.
3. Go to the students corner and choose new registration.
4. Enter your personal, academic and category details.
5. Generate your application ID and complete Aadhaar e-KYC.

How to log in

Once you have registered, you can return any time to continue or track your application using these steps.

1. Visit postmatric-scholarship.cg.nic.in and choose login for existing users.
2. Enter your application ID or registered details and password.
3. Open your dashboard to fill or track your application.
4. Use the reset option if you cannot log in.

How to apply step by step

With your account ready and documents in hand, complete the application as follows.

1. Log in to the CG post matric scholarship portal.
2. Fill in your academic and eligibility details.
3. Upload the caste, income, domicile and mark sheet documents.
4. Complete Aadhaar e-KYC to validate your registration.
5. Review the form, since no changes are allowed after submission.
6. Submit and lock the application, then forward it for verification.

Tips to strengthen your application

Registration stays provisional until you finish Aadhaar e-KYC, so do not skip that step. Make sure your bank account is active and linked to both your Aadhaar and your registered mobile number, because the scholarship is paid by Direct Benefit Transfer. Review every detail before submission, since the portal does not allow changes once the form is submitted. School students up to class 10 use a separate portal, so confirm you are on the post-matric portal for class 11 and above.

Important dates

Deadlines are the single biggest reason strong candidates miss out. Note the timeline below and always confirm the exact dates on the official portal, since they can change each cycle.

Applying for any scholarship is mostly about preparation and timing. Read the eligibility list once more, keep your documents ready, register early and submit well before the deadline. If you meet the criteria, apply, and keep a backup option ready so your studies are never delayed.
