SCERT Uttarakhand Scholarship Portal 2026-27: If your child studies in a government school in Uttarakhand, there is one website you should know about: scholarshipscert.uk.gov.in. This is the SCERT Uttarakhand scholarship portal, and it replaced the scattered forms and notices that families used to chase every year. Here is a plain-language guide to what is on it, who can benefit, and how the process works.
About SCERT Uttarakhand Scholarship Portal
SCERT Uttarakhand launched the portal on 15 April 2026. Education Minister Dr. Dhan Singh Rawat opened it, and the scholarship application process went fully online from that day. The portal was built with ITDA Uttarakhand. Students, parents, teachers and officers can now find application status, exam centres, exam dates and notices in one place instead of depending on school circulars alone.
SCERT’s scholarship cell conducts exams for two groups of students:
- Classes 6 and 9: Mukhyamantri Medhavi Chhatra Protsahan Scholarship exam
- Class 8: NMMSS (National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship), Dr. Shivanand Nautiyal Scholarship (SNSS) and Shridev Suman Scholarship (SSSS)
Last Date to Apply: Updated Soon
Eligibility Criteria & Selection Process
- The student must study in a government or government-aided school in Uttarakhand.
- Central schools and residential schools are not covered.
- For Class 6, the student should have passed Class 5 as an institutional candidate. For Class 9, Class 8 as an institutional candidate.
- There is no income limit for parents or guardians.
- A student cannot take two state scholarships at the same time.
- After selection, the student must keep 75% attendance and the required marks (60% in Classes 6, 7 and 9, and 75% in Class 11). SC and ST students get a 5% relaxation.
Required Documents Checklist
- Identity proof of the applicant (linked with active mobile number).
- Recent Passport Size Photograph (JPEG/PNG format).
- Educational Mark Sheets (Previous Year / Qualifying Examination Passed).
- Income Certificate issued by a competent authority (Tehsildar/SDO).
- Domicile / Residential Certificate of the respective state.
- Caste / Category Certificate (if applying under SC/ST/OBC/EWS quotas).
- Bank Account Passbook front page (showing Account No. and IFSC code).
- Active Admission Receipt or Institution Bonafide Certificate.
Amount & Benefits
This is the scheme most families search for. The amount is paid every month and is sanctioned for one year per class.
| Class | Monthly Scholarship | How Selected |
|---|---|---|
| Class 6 | 600 | SCERT exam (top 10%) |
| Class 7 | 700 | Continues after Class 6 selection |
| Class 8 | 800 | Continues after selection |
| Class 9 and 10 | 900 | SCERT exam for Class 9 (top 10%) |
| Class 11 and 12 | 1,200 | No exam, based on Class 10 board marks |
The Class 6 and Class 9 exams have two papers, a Mental Ability Test and a Scholastic Aptitude Test, both objective multiple choice. For Class 11, there is no exam at all. A student who scored 80% or more in the Uttarakhand Board Class 10 exam in a government or government-aided school is selected by the department directly.
Step-by-Step How to Apply
Most available guidance says the application is filled in by the school, not by the student alone. Here is how the process generally runs:
- Meet your class teacher or headmaster once the exam notice is out.
- Give the school your details and the documents listed above.
- The school enters your information and uploads the documents on scholarshipscert.uk.gov.in through its School Login.
- Check what was entered, especially your name, date of birth and bank details, and ask for corrections if anything is wrong.
- The school submits the application online.
- The form then moves through verification by the school, the Block Education Officer, the district and SCERT.
Some websites describe a student or parent registration step as well. Since the portal is new, always follow the instructions on the portal homepage and your school’s guidance for the current year.
Track Application Status
Results are published on the same portal. Open scholarshipscert.uk.gov.in, choose the View Result option, and enter your roll number and date of birth. Keep your admit card safe, because the roll number is printed on it.
Common Challenges & Solutions
- Bank account not linked with Aadhaar
- Name or date of birth that does not match the marksheet
- Missing the school’s internal deadline, which is usually earlier than the portal deadline
- Not checking the entry the school has filled in
- Confusing this portal with escholarship.uk.gov.in, which is the Social Welfare Department’s portal for SC, ST, OBC and minority scholarships

Other Information
This is a fictional example to show how it works. Riya studies in Class 8 in a government school in Pauri Garhwal. She wants the Class 9 Medhavi scholarship, so after passing Class 8 she gives her marksheet, Aadhaar copy, photo and bank details to her school. The school enters everything on the portal, Riya checks the printout for mistakes, and the school submits it. She appears in the SCERT exam, and if she finishes in the top 10% of participants, Rs.900 a month goes to her bank account for the year.
