What is Oasis Scholarship?

Oasis Scholarship is one common website for West Bengal state scholarships. You do not need a separate form for each scheme. You register once. Then you apply for the scheme that matches your class and category. There are two stages. Pre-Matric is for school students. Post-Matric starts after Class 10. It runs through 11th Class, 12th Class, ITI, diploma, degree and higher courses. Many students use this money later for degree courses at places like University of Calcutta, Presidency University and IIT Kharagpur.

Oasis Scholarship Scheme List 2026-27

Which Oasis Scholarship Should You Apply For?

Only two things decide your scheme. Your class and your category.

• Class 9 and Class 10 students apply under the Pre-Matric scheme of their category.

• 11th Class and 12th Class students apply under Post-Matric. Students of WBCHSE Class 12th come under this group.

• Children of parents in unclean occupations apply under Component-II. This scheme starts from Class 1. It has no income limit.

One student can take only one scholarship. If you are already getting money from another scheme, you cannot take Oasis at the same time.

NSP OTR for Oasis Scholarship

OTR means One-Time Registration. It is a number you get on the National Scholarship Portal after you finish e-KYC. The Oasis registration form asks for this number. Once made, the OTR stays valid for your whole study career. You do not have to make a new one every year.

Remember one thing. Making an OTR does not mean your scholarship is done. You still have to apply separately on the Oasis portal.

Documents Required for Oasis Scholarship 2026-27

You need two sets of documents. One set for the online form. Another set for the printed copy.

• Aadhaar card

• Caste certificate, with its number and issuing date

Oasis Scholarship Selection and Verification Process

Your form goes through three offices before the money comes. Each level has to pass it.

If the Aadhaar DBT check fails, the payment stops there. You have to link your Aadhaar with the bank account. Then check the status again. Institute level is the first check of the three. Students at big institutions like IIM Calcutta and Presidency University should keep in touch with their scholarship cell at this stage.

How to Check Oasis Scholarship Status at oasis.gov.in

The homepage of oasis.gov.in has a Track an Application option. Use it to see how far your form has moved. Keep the Application ID from the acknowledgement slip ready before you check. The status shows you which level has passed your form. If it is stuck at institute level, talk to your institution. If it is stuck at block or district level, follow up at the office where you gave the printed form.

Oasis Scholarship Payment and DBT

Payment comes through Aadhaar-based Direct Benefit Transfer. It uses the NPCI mapper. The money goes to the student's own bank account. It does not go to the institution. This rule is the same for every institution, from a state school to a university like Jadavpur University, University of Calcutta or IIT Kharagpur.

For Pre-Matric and Post-Matric SC scholarships, the money comes in two parts. 40 percent comes in the first phase. The rest 60 percent comes later. Aadhaar seeding matters a lot here. If your bank account is not linked with Aadhaar in the NPCI mapper, the money will fail even after approval. Get it linked at your bank branch. Then check the status again.

Why Oasis Scholarship Applications Get Rejected

Most forms get rejected for small reasons. Check this table before you lock your form.

Can You Apply for More Than One Scholarship?

No. The rule is simple. One student can give one application only. If you take money from another scholarship scheme, your Oasis application is cancelled. Pick one scheme and stay with it for the year.

Oasis Scholarship Renewal

The portal homepage has a Renew Scholarship option. It is for students who are going on with the same course. Use this option instead of registering again.

Renewal works on the same OTR. Your OTR stays valid through your study career, so you do not have to make it a second time. Students going into the next year of a degree course at places like NIT Durgapur, IIT Kharagpur and University of Calcutta should use the renewal option, not fresh registration.

Use the official contact details below for portal problems, form errors or payment issues.

For status questions, your institute and the block or district office usually reply faster than the helpline.
