The most urgent UP Scholarship date for 2026-27: fresh applications for Dashmottar (Post-Matric other than Intermediate) close on 31 October 2026. The department issued the official timetables for session 2026-27 — Postmatric (2026-27) and Prematric (2026-27) — on 20 July 2026, and every category follows its own stage-wise schedule: application, printout, hard copy to the institute, institute verification, and district stages. This page collects the schedule in one place. Because the department can revise dates, treat the official timetable on scholarship.up.gov.in as final and use this page to plan.
Quick Answer: UP Scholarship Last Date 2026-27
Dashmottar fresh applications: last date 31 October 2026. Renewals closed earlier (15 October 2026). After applying online, submit the printout and hard copy to your institute within the days given in the timetable — an online form without the institute hard copy is treated as incomplete. Pre-Matric (Class 9-10) and Intermediate follow their own timetable rows; check your category below.

Schedule as per the official Postmatric timetable for session 2026-27 (issued 20-07-2026), as reported for the Dashmottar group. If the department issues a revised timetable or extends any date, the new official notice prevails — always confirm on scholarship.up.gov.in.
Pre-Matric (Class 9-10) and Intermediate (Class 11-12)
Pre-Matric and Intermediate categories follow the date rows of their own timetables, which are set separately from Dashmottar. Their application windows for 2026-27 were scheduled earlier in the season than the Dashmottar window. Students of Class 9-12 should:
- Open the Prematric (2026-27) / Postmatric timetable on the official portal and read the rows for their category.
- If the application window for your category has closed, watch the portal for any extension or correction window notice — extensions are announced there first.
- Whatever the window, the same stages follow: printout → hard copy to institute → institute verification → district verification → sanction → payment.

What Happens After the Last Date
- Printout stage: take the final printout of your submitted form (fresh applicants get a few extra days for this).
- Hard copy to institute: submit the printout with document photocopies to your school/college before its date — this is the stage students miss most.
- Institute verification: your institute verifies and forwards applications within its window.
- Correction window: the department usually opens a short correction window after submission stages — watch your status and the portal notices.
- District verification and sanction: district committees process applications scheme-wise (see the district guide).
- Payment: DBT credits in batches; track on PFMS.
Do Not Miss These Supporting Deadlines
- OTR: compulsory before applying — complete it before the last date rush (see the OTR guide).
- Certificates: income/caste certificates applied for at the Tehsil take days — a pending certificate on the last date means a missed application.
- Bank seeding: not needed to apply, but needed for payment — finish Aadhaar seeding early (see the seeding guide).
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the UP Scholarship last date be extended?
Extensions happen in some sessions and are announced only through the official portal and revised timetables. Never rely on an expected extension — apply as if the current date is final.
I applied online on the last date but could not submit the hard copy. Is my application valid?
The hard copy stage has its own date a few days after the application last date. Submit it within that stage’s date; an application whose hard copy never reaches the institute is not verified.
Where can I see the official timetable myself?
On scholarship.up.gov.in, in the Timetables section — “Postmatric (2026-27)” and “Prematric (2026-27)”, issued 20-07-2026. Read the rows for your category and application type (fresh/renewal).
Is the last date the same for all categories?
No. Dates are set per category and group (Pre-Matric, Intermediate, Dashmottar; and General/OBC/SC/ST/Minority processing follows the same stage calendar of its group). Check your group’s rows.
I missed the last date. What can I do now?
Watch the portal for extension or correction notices — that is the only legitimate route. If nothing opens, prepare documents early and apply on the first day of the next session. No agent can reopen a closed window.
Conclusion
For 2026-27, the date to circle is 31 October 2026 for Dashmottar fresh applications — and the hard-copy and verification dates right behind it matter just as much. Apply days before the deadline, submit the printout on time, and keep checking your status through every stage.
