Common Questions (FAQs)
When will the TS ePASS Post-Matric BC Scholarship amount be disbursed to students?
From the academic year 2026-27, the Telangana government has mandated that post-matric scholarships, including tuition fee reimbursement and maintenance allowance, will be directly credited to eligible students' Aadhaar-linked bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system using the Aadhaar Payment Bridge System (APBS). Scholarships will be released in a single installment each academic year. For the 2026-27 academic year, phase-one scholarship credits for applications submitted between April and July are expected to be released by August 15, 2026.
What if there is a mismatch in my Aadhaar or bank account details during the application process?
It is crucial that the name on your Aadhaar card precisely matches the name on your SSC Certificate. If there is any mismatch, it must be corrected at a MeeSeva Centre before applying. Additionally, your bank account must be a nationalized bank account (India Post Payments Bank is also accepted) and must be Aadhaar-seeded (NPCI linked) to ensure successful direct benefit transfer of the scholarship funds. Transactions can fail due to such linkage issues or mismatches in details like signature or birth date, so prompt verification and correction are essential.
Which courses are eligible and which are not for the Post-Matric BC Scholarship?
The TS ePASS Post-Matric Scholarship is generally available for students pursuing higher studies after Class 10th, including Intermediate, ITI, Diploma, Degree, Postgraduate, and various Professional courses (e.g., Medicine, Engineering, Technology, Management, Agriculture). However, certain courses and student categories are not eligible. This includes students pursuing part-time courses, online courses, or correspondence courses. Students admitted under sponsored seats, management quota seats, or spot admissions are also ineligible. Furthermore, students receiving stipends that exceed the scholarship amount, and those studying courses offered by open universities, distant mode, or Category B seats in MBBS/BDS are generally not covered.
