If you searched for “Rajasthan scholarship”, you will mainly deal with two systems: the Rajasthan Single Sign-On (SSO) ID, and the scholarship section of the Social Justice and Empowerment Department (SJE) at sje.rajasthan.gov.in. You log in with your SSO ID, open the Scholarship (SJE) option, fill in the form, complete Aadhaar-based verification, and your institution and department process the payment by DBT.
This guide covers eligibility, the main post-matric schemes, documents, how to apply, status check and mistakes. Last checked October 2026.
What students usually search for
The usual searches are “Rajasthan scholarship 2026”, “sje rajasthan scholarship”, “Rajasthan post matric scholarship”, “Rajasthan scholarship status” and “SSO ID scholarship”. The status and SSO login steps below answer most of those.

Who is eligible?
- You must have Rajasthan domicile.
- You must belong to the category the scheme is for, such as SC, ST, OBC, SBC or EBC.
- You must be enrolled in a recognised post-matric course. A scholarship guide lists UG, PG, diploma and ITI.
- There is an annual family income ceiling, which differs by scheme. The SC post-matric scheme was listed with Rs 2.5 lakh. For OBC, the guide I read gave two different figures, so confirm the figure on the official site.
- You should not hold another scholarship for the same course.
- Renewal needs promotion to the next class and a minimum attendance, which a guide puts at 75 percent verified through Aadhaar.
Main schemes
| Scheme | Who it is for | Benefit (as reported) |
|---|---|---|
| Post-Matric Scholarship for SC | Rajasthan SC students in UG, PG, diploma, ITI | Reimbursement of compulsory fees and a maintenance allowance; check portal for current rates |
| Post-Matric Scholarship for ST | Rajasthan ST students | Fee reimbursement and maintenance; check portal |
| Post-Matric Scholarship for OBC | OBC students, minimum marks apply per one guide | Fee reimbursement and monthly maintenance; check portal |
| Pre-Matric Scholarship for OBC, SBC, EBC | School students in these categories | Check portal |
| Disability-related and other special schemes | Students with disability and others | Check portal |
Several guides quote maintenance rates such as Rs 1,200 for hostellers and Rs 550 for day scholars in higher courses, but they also show wider ranges, so I am not treating any figure as final. Open the scheme page before you plan around a number.
Documents you will need
- Digital caste certificate
- Jan Aadhaar card with student and family details
- Income certificate from the Tahsildar or SDM
- Rajasthan domicile certificate
- Marksheets of the previous qualifying exams
- Current-year fee receipt with a clear break-up
- Aadhaar card
- Passbook first page of an Aadhaar-seeded bank account
- Scans in the format the portal asks for. A guide mentions JPG, JPEG or PDF under 1 MB for the fee receipt
How to apply
- Create or log in to your SSO ID at sso.rajasthan.gov.in using Aadhaar or Jan Aadhaar.
- Open the “Scholarship (SJE)” application from your SSO dashboard.
- Create or update your student profile and make sure Jan Aadhaar is linked.
- Select the scholarship for your category and course.
- Fill in personal, academic and bank details. The bank account must be Aadhaar-seeded.
- Upload the documents.
- Complete the Aadhaar verification by biometric or OTP. A guide says that if no biometric device is available you can use the face-authentication app route.
- Check everything, press final submit, and save the application ID.
How to check your Rajasthan scholarship status
Open the SJE scholarship site, log in with your SSO ID, choose Application Status, and enter your application ID. If the department raises an objection, you must answer it quickly, otherwise the form can stall or be rejected. Renewal students should log in and renew, not apply as a new candidate.
Common mistakes
- Skipping the Aadhaar verification step, which leaves the application incomplete.
- Bank account not seeded with Aadhaar.
- Fee receipt without a proper break-up, so the department cannot calculate reimbursement.
- Income or caste certificate that is not digital or is out of date.
- Ignoring objection messages.
- Applying as a fresh student when you are a renewal student.
- Paying an agent. The government portal is free.
Tips to avoid delays
- Keep your SSO ID, Jan Aadhaar and application ID in one note.
- Respond to objections within a day or two.
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 Rajasthan, think SSO ID first, then the SJE scholarship option, then Aadhaar verification and tracking. Because income limits and dates changed between guides, confirm them on sje.rajasthan.gov.in before you finalise your application.
