What is the MPTAAS Scholarship?
The MPTAAS Scholarship is a state government scheme managed through a digital portal that handles everything — from registration to payment — for students from SC, ST, and OBC communities in Madhya Pradesh.
Before the portal launched, scholarship applications were processed manually, which caused frequent delays and verification problems. The MPTAAS portal replaced that system and made the entire workflow — OTR registration, profile creation, application, renewal, and status tracking — fully online and transparent.
The portal currently manages three major scholarships:
- ST Scholarship MPTAAS – for Scheduled Tribe students
- OBC Scholarship MPTAAS – for Other Backward Class students
- Post Matric Scholarship for SC Students – for Scheduled Caste students

MPTAAS Scholarship Renewal Process 2026
Students who received the MPTAAS Scholarship in the previous academic year must complete the MPTAAS Renewal process — the scholarship is not automatically renewed.

- Go to “Renew Application” from the dashboard
- Update your current academic year details and latest marks
- Upload the new admission fee receipt for the current session
- Submit the renewal form before the deadline
Do not delay renewal — late submissions may result in loss of scholarship benefits for the current year.

- Approved – Application accepted; payment being processed
- Rejected – See rejection reason and reapply after correction
- Payment Released – Amount transferred to your bank account via DBT

Real Student Example – How the MPTAAS Scholarship Helps
Meet Ramesh Ahirwar, a 19-year-old ST student from Sagar district, currently pursuing a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Agriculture at a government college in Bhopal.
Ramesh’s father is a daily-wage labourer with an annual household income of Rs. 72,000. After Class 12, continuing higher education seemed impossible due to college fees and hostel costs. A senior student told him about the MPTAAS Scholarship. He completed OTR Registration using his Samagra ID, uploaded all required documents, and submitted his application in October 2025.
His application was approved within 3 weeks. He now receives Rs. 820/month as a hosteller, which covers his mess fees and study materials. Ramesh says: “MPTAAS ne meri padhai ka raasta khol diya — main ab bina tension ke college kar sakta hoon.”
