The NSP portal consolidates various schemes, but the most common reason for application rejection is a mismatch between your Aadhaar-seeded bank account and the details registered in your school/college records. Ensure your KYC is updated with your institution before applying. Since there is no application fee, be wary of third-party websites asking for payment to 'process' your scholarship; always use the official scholarships.gov.in portal directly.
