Lucknow: Thousands of students enrolled in colleges affiliated with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) need to buckle up. The university has issued a critical notification regarding the Post-Matric Scholarship and Fee Reimbursement scheme for the 2025-26 academic session. If your college misses this paperwork, your scholarship funds could be at serious risk.
In a move to ensure that only genuine students receive financial aid, AKTU has asked the directors and principals of all government and self-financed affiliated institutes to speed up the online verification process. This isn’t just a routine check; it’s a mandatory step to weed out ineligible candidates and ensure the money reaches the right hands.
New Dates You Need to Know
According to the latest schedule released by the Social Welfare Department, the timeline for verifying actual student numbers and blocking ineligible candidates or institutions has been revised. Mark these dates on your calendar:
-
Original Window: Was previously scheduled for January 12 to January 24, 2026.
-
Revised Window: The university and affiliating agencies will now conduct the verification and blocking process from January 28 to February 7, 2026.
Strict Guidelines for College Directors
To maintain transparency, AKTU is not taking any chances. Every college director is now required to submit a signed affidavit confirming the legitimacy of their students. This legal document must verify that every student on the list is actually studying at the institute and that their online applications have been thoroughly checked for errors.
The university has laid down five strict conditions for this affidavit:
-
All listed students must be currently enrolled and attending the institution.
-
Every application has been cross-checked and is 100% error-free.
-
Only students meeting the official guidelines have been forwarded.
-
Students must not be receiving benefits from any other Central Government scholarship scheme.
-
No ineligible student has been included in the list.
The Final Warning
The university has made it crystal clear: the responsibility lies solely with the institutions. Directors must submit the original copy of the affidavit along with the complete category-wise and year-wise list of verified students.
The absolute deadline for colleges to submit these documents to the university is February 5, 2026. If a college fails to meet this deadline or provides false information, they will be held entirely responsible for any loss of scholarship benefits to their students.
For students, this is the time to stay in touch with your college administration and ensure your details are updated and verified. One small mistake or a missed deadline could mean losing out on vital financial support for the entire academic year.
