To apply, students must register on the portal using a One-Time Registration (OTR) number, password, and Captcha code. The OTR system will automatically fetch their details, including photographs and demographics. If any details need updating, students will be required to update their Aadhaar card, and the changes will reflect in their OTR profile through a fresh eKYC process. These updated details will then be automatically reflected in their scholarship application form on the National Scholarship Portal (NSP).

The CBSE has emphasised that providing incorrect or false information during the application process could lead to immediate rejection of the scholarship. Students, parents, or legal guardians are advised to submit an active mobile number and email address during OTR registration, as all communications will be made through these channels.
Students are encouraged to apply early to avoid last-minute delays or issues.
