FAQs

What happens if a student forgets to renew the Oasis scholarship on time?

Missing the renewal deadline may lead to a permanent loss of scholarship benefits for that academic year. In such cases, students must wait until the next academic cycle and reapply as fresh applicants, if eligible.

Can applicants make corrections in the application after locking it?

No, once the application is locked during submission or renewal, no further changes can be made. Students are advised to carefully verify all details before using the 'Renew and Lock Application' option.

Is the scholarship amount credited in one go or in installments?

The disbursal pattern may vary depending on the scheme. Some scholarships are released annually as a lump sum, while others, such as hostel grants or merit awards, may be disbursed monthly or quarterly depending on the department’s directive.

Do merit-based scholarships have limited seats or are they open-ended?

Yes, merit-based scholarships under Oasis have a fixed quota. Selection is purely performance-based and depends on academic scores from the previous year. Therefore, even eligible students may not receive the award if all seats are filled.

How can students ensure their application isn’t rejected?

To avoid rejection, students should: Enter accurate caste certificate details, use a valid and active bank account, upload clear, attested documents, ensure institutional verification is completed before the deadline, and carefully review all fields before locking the application form.
