Consequences:

  • Application form ही नहीं खुलेगा
  • Registration number generate नहीं होगा
  • Complete process stuck हो जाएगी

Correct Approach: Step 1: scholarship.up.gov.in पर जाएं Step 2: “One Time Registration” click करें Step 3: Mobile Authentication complete करें Step 4: Aadhaar e-KYC process करें Step 5: OTR Number save करें

Result: Automatic verification failure at district level[214]!

Prevention Strategy: Golden Rule: सभी documents में exactly same name होना चाहिए

Priority Order:

Aadhaar Card = Base reference (never change this)

Bank Account = Must match Aadhaar exactly

School Documents = Get corrected if needed

Fatal Errors:
