If you searched for “Telangana scholarship” or “ePASS Telangana”, the portal is telanganaepass.cgg.gov.in. It is used for post-matric scholarships and fee reimbursement for SC, ST, BC, EBC, minority and disabled students. You register using your SSC details, fill in the form, upload documents, and your college approves it. Payment is by DBT to your bank account.
This guide covers who can apply, the schemes, documents, how to apply, how to check status and what to do when payment is delayed. Last checked October 2026.
What students usually search for
Common searches are “TS ePASS scholarship 2026”, “ePASS Telangana login”, “ePASS scholarship status”, “ePASS fresh registration” and “Telangana post matric scholarship”. The status and payment questions come up most.
Quick facts
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Official portal | telanganaepass.cgg.gov.in |
| Who uses it | SC, ST, BC, EBC, minority and disabled students (per Careers360) |
| Registration basis | SSC hall ticket details, date of birth and passing year |
| Payment | DBT; a CareerIndia report in August 2026 said many failed payments came from bank account linkage problems |
| Dates | Guides said dates vary; a Careers360 page updated in July 2026 gave no deadline. Check the portal |
| Cost | Free |
Who is eligible?
A Careers360 summary lists income limits by category. They are below, but confirm them on the portal because that page itself had some inconsistencies for urban students.
| Category | Annual family income limit (as reported) |
|---|---|
| SC | Rs 2.5 lakh or below |
| ST | Rs 2 lakh or below |
| BC, EBC and minority | Rs 1 lakh or below for rural students; the urban limit was not clearly stated |
| Disabled students | Rs 1 lakh or below |
The same guide lists groups who are generally not eligible: part-time, online or correspondence students, students admitted through sponsored, management or spot quotas, students already receiving another stipend or scholarship, and students repeating the same level of course. Renewal students need at least 75 percent attendance each quarter.
Main schemes on ePASS
| Scheme | Who it is for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Post-Matric Scholarship and fee reimbursement | SC, ST, BC, EBC, minority and disabled students | Covers fee reimbursement and scholarship; check portal for amounts |
| Pre-Matric scholarships | School students in eligible categories | Check portal |
| Overseas scholarship schemes | Students planning to study abroad under state schemes | Dates are announced separately; check portal |
| Renewal | Continuing students | Register again for the new year through the same portal |
No reliable rupee amounts were in the guides I read, so I am not quoting any. The scholarship usually has a tuition fee part and a maintenance part, but the exact rates are on the portal.
Documents you will need
- SSC hall ticket details (regular or supplementary)
- Aadhaar number
- Caste certificate from Meeseva
- Income certificate
- Passbook of a bank account that is Aadhaar-linked (a guide says nationalised bank)
- Registered mobile number
- Study or bonafide certificate
- CET allotment number where it applies
- Recent passport-size photograph
How to apply
- Open telanganaepass.cgg.gov.in and click Post-Matric Services.
- Choose fresh registration for the current year, or renewal if you are continuing.
- Gather your documents and click Apply Now.
- Enter SSC pass type, date of birth, passing year, course group and hall ticket number.
- Generate login credentials and log in.
- Fill in the form, upload documents and submit.
- Save the acknowledgement number.
How to check payment status
Use the scholarship status option on the portal and enter your hall ticket details. CareerIndia also mentions tracking funds through the public financial management system. If your payment is pending, check three things: your bank account is Aadhaar-seeded through NPCI, your college has verified and approved your profile, and your attendance and biometric records are in order. Do not give your login details to agents. A news report notes that officials do not ask for extra fees.
Common mistakes
- Bank account not linked with Aadhaar, so the transfer fails.
- Mismatch in signature or date of birth between records.
- College has not approved your profile. Visit the registrar or scholarship desk.
- Applying in the wrong category, for example BC when the certificate says another category.
- Low attendance, which can stop renewal payments.
- Typing the wrong hall ticket details and creating a duplicate account.
Tips to avoid delays
- Keep a photo or PDF of your acknowledgement number from day one.
- Check your bank account linkage before the college approves your profile, not after.
- Ask your college registrar when profiles will be approved, because payment follows approval.
- Keep your hall ticket number safe; it is the key to logging in and checking status.
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 Telangana, ePASS is the one portal to trust. Register with your SSC details, upload correct certificates, make sure the college approves your profile, and keep your bank account Aadhaar-seeded. Check the portal for dates, income limits and amounts, as they change from year to year.
