If you searched for “MP scholarship” or “Madhya Pradesh scholarship”, the main portal is the MP Scholarship Portal 2.0, run by the state Higher Education Department. SC and OBC post-matric students apply there, while ST students apply on the MPTAAS portal of the Tribal Welfare Department. Your caste and income details are pulled from the Samagra portal, so those records must be correct before you start.
Below you will find eligibility, the main schemes, documents, steps to apply, status check, and mistakes to avoid. Last checked October 2026.
What students usually search for
People search for “MP scholarship portal 2.0”, “MP scholarship login”, “MP scholarship status”, “MMVY scholarship” and “MP post matric scholarship”. Login, status and the Samagra link are the three things that trip students up most, so I cover them in detail.

Who is eligible?
You must be a Madhya Pradesh domicile studying in a recognised institution in the state. The guides I read give these scheme-level conditions, which you must verify on the portal:
- Post-Matric OBC: OBC category with family income up to Rs 3 lakh per year.
- Post-Matric SC: SC category, passed Class 10 and enrolled in a post-matric course.
- Post-Matric ST (MPTAAS): ST category, passed Class 10, with income bands that decide whether support is full or 50 percent.
- Mukhyamantri Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana (MMVY): for undergraduates with a high Class 12 score. The guide gave at least 70 percent for MP Board and 85 percent for CBSE or ICSE.
- Mukhyamantri Jankalyan Yojana (MMJKY): for UG, diploma and ITI students and certain entrance-based admissions in engineering, medical and law.
- Distance and correspondence students are generally not eligible, and continuing students need the required attendance.

How to apply
- Update your caste and income certificate details on the Samagra portal first, because MPTAAS and the scholarship system fetch your data from there.
- Open the correct portal: MP Scholarship Portal 2.0 for SC, OBC or merit schemes, or MPTAAS for ST.
- Go to the Students Corner and choose new registration. Enter your name, mobile number and a valid ID, accept the terms, and receive your login.
- Log in, choose the scheme that matches your category and course, and fill in personal, academic and bank details.
- Upload documents, review, and submit.
- Save your application ID. Changes after submission may need a correction request.
How to check your status and fix errors
In the Students Corner, use the link to track your application and enter your applicant ID with the required academic year or password. If you forget your password, use the recover password option, which asks for your category, name, date of birth and the mobile number from your application. The mobile number must match what you entered earlier. If the correction window is closed, contact your institution’s nodal officer.
Common mistakes
- Starting the form before your Samagra record shows the right caste and income.
- Choosing a scheme meant for another category.
- Applying for more than one scheme in the same year.
- Mobile number changed after registration, so password recovery fails.
- Bank details with a wrong IFSC.
- Not saving the application ID.
- Assuming a late application will be accepted. Windows can close, so apply as soon as you can.
Tips to avoid delays
- Keep your Samagra ID handy.
- Screenshot the final page after submission.
A note on sources: I could not open the official portal pages directly while preparing this guide, so the details below come from published guides and news reports, and I name the source where it matters. Treat every income limit, amount and date as something to confirm on the official portal before you apply.
Conclusion
For Madhya Pradesh, get Samagra right, choose the correct portal for your category, apply for one scheme, and track it often. Exact amounts and dates must come from the portal, because the guides available online do not agree with each other on every point.
