Scholarship Exam Details

The OASIS (Online Application for Scholarship in Studies) portal is the dedicated platform for the Government of West Bengal’s SC, ST, and OBC scholarship schemes. It provides both Pre-Matric and Post-Matric financial assistance to students who are permanent residents of West Bengal. For 2026, the scholarship amounts are highly stratified: school students receive between ₹2,250 and ₹8,500 per year, while medical, engineering, and research students (M.Phil/PhD) can receive up to ₹1,200 per month plus additional grants. The primary goal of OASIS is to ensure that socio-economic backwardness does not lead to school or college dropouts. It is a Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme, meaning funds are sent directly to the student’s Aadhaar-seeded bank account. In 2026, the verification process has been tightened, requiring real-time caste certificate validation through the state’s central database.

Q1: Who is eligible based on family income?
A1: For SC and ST students, the annual family income must be below ₹2,50,000. For OBC students, the limit is stricter, requiring an annual income of less than ₹1,00,000.
Q2: Can I apply if I am studying outside West Bengal?
A2: No, the OASIS scholarship is strictly for students who are domiciled in West Bengal and are studying in recognized institutions within the state.
Q3: What is the significance of "Aadhaar Seeding" for this scholarship?
A3: In 2026, the OASIS portal will not process any payments unless the student's bank account is linked to their Aadhaar and the NPCI mapper is active. This is to prevent duplicate or fraudulent claims.
Q4: Is there a minimum marks requirement?
A4: For the general Post-Matric scheme, students must have at least 50% marks in their previous final examination. However, for certain professional courses, regular attendance and passing status are the primary criteria.
