Hello all, I’m planning to apply for the National Scholarship for Post Graduate Studies (NSP-PG), but I’m a little confused about the process. Can anyone help me out? Is the application submitted online, and if so, where can I find the official website or portal to apply?
Also, what are the eligibility requirements? Are they based on academic performance, family income, or something else? What documents should I prepare like mark sheets, proof of income, or recommendation letters?
If anyone has applied before or knows someone who has, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. Any tips on how to make the application process smoother or avoid common pitfalls would be incredibly helpful. Thanks
