Bihar students can check their Post Matric Scholarship application progress online using a mobile phone, verify document-related objections and track the next steps towards payment.
Students who applied for the Bihar Post Matric Scholarship (PMS) for the 2026–27 academic session can check their application status online through the official Bihar government scholarship portal. The facility allows applicants to monitor their applications and identify whether further verification or corrections are required.
The scholarship programme provides financial assistance to eligible students pursuing post-matriculation studies. Students from eligible Backward Class (BC), Extremely Backward Class (EBC), Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) categories can use the relevant portal to access their application details.
The official BC/EBC portal lists July 15 to September 30, 2026, as the application window for the 2026–27 session. Students should check the official website for any subsequent notification regarding an extension or reopening of applications.
Students should use the official portal corresponding to their category.
BC/EBC students: Bihar Post Matric Scholarship BC/EBC Portal
SC/ST students: Bihar Post Matric Scholarship SC/ST Portal
Applicants should avoid unofficial websites that ask for unnecessary personal information or payment to check scholarship status.
Follow these steps to check your application progress using a smartphone.
Open Google Chrome or another browser on your mobile phone.
Visit the official Bihar PMS portal for your scholarship category.
Select the academic year 2026–27, where required.
Open the student application-status option or the relevant student login page.
Enter the requested details, such as your One-Time Registration (OTR) number and registered mobile number, depending on the portal.
Enter the CAPTCHA displayed on the screen.
Submit the details and review the status shown for your application.
The precise fields and login procedure may differ between the BC/EBC and SC/ST portals. Follow the instructions displayed on the relevant official website.
Students should read the status message carefully before taking any action. Common application-processing terms include the following:
1. Pending or Under Verification
The application may still be undergoing checks at the institution, district or state level. Students should monitor the portal for further instructions.
2. Defected
The application has an identified issue that needs correction. Applicants should open the relevant correction or defected-login facility, check the reason and upload or update the required information within the prescribed deadline.
3. Rejected
The application has been rejected. Students should check the portal for the stated reason and contact the appropriate scholarship authority if clarification is required. Rejection should not be confused with a routine pending verification.
4. Approved or Sanctioned
The application has progressed through the relevant approval stage. Students should check whether any further processing remains before payment.
5. Payment Pending or Payment Processed
These terms relate to the payment stage, but their exact meaning depends on the status displayed by the portal. Students should verify their bank account and any available payment details rather than assuming that approval guarantees immediate credit.
These are general explanations of common scholarship-processing terms. The exact status labels displayed on the Bihar PMS portal may differ.
If the portal identifies a defect, students should first read the reason shown against their application. They may need to correct certificate details, update a document or complete another required step.
The official BC/EBC portal states that applicants with defective applications must make the required corrections and finalise their applications again within 15 days. It also states that applicants may receive up to three opportunities to correct defects before rejection.
Students should follow the deadline applicable to their individual application and any subsequent official instructions.
Aadhaar seeding is an important requirement for the scholarship's Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) process.
The Bihar PMS portal states that students must ensure their Aadhaar is seeded with the correct bank account for DBT. Applications cannot be finalised until the required Aadhaar-seeding check is completed.
Students should therefore:
Verify that their Aadhaar is linked to the appropriate bank account for DBT.
Check that their bank details are accurate.
Ensure their income and caste certificates are valid and correctly uploaded.
Monitor SMS notifications and the official portal for requests to correct application details.
The scholarship amount is released only after the required verification and approval processes have been completed.
Depending on the application stage and the portal's instructions, students may need access to the following documents and information:
Aadhaar details
Income certificate
Caste certificate
Class 10 certificate
Bonafide certificate
Fee receipt
Previous examination marksheet
Bank account details and Aadhaar-seeding information
Registered mobile number and OTR details, where applicable
Students should refer to the official portal for the requirements applicable to their category and application.
The payment date depends on the progress of document verification, institutional verification, district-level checks, state approval and the DBT payment process.
The official portal describes these stages as part of the scholarship process, but a specific payment date for every applicant has not been established by the information available here.
Students should regularly check their application status and bank account. If the application has remained unchanged for an unusually long period, they can contact their institution's scholarship nodal officer or the District Scholarship Committee for assistance.
