The Uttar Pradesh Scholarship portal, under the Social Welfare Department, provides substantial financial support to BTech students through the Dashmottar (Post-Matric Other Than Intermediate) scheme for the 2025-26 academic year. This program reimburses tuition fees and offers maintenance allowances to eligible engineering aspirants enrolled in AICTE-approved colleges and universities across the state, such as IIT Kanpur affiliates, AKTU institutions, and private engineering colleges. As of December 5, 2025, Dashmottar applications remain open until December 20, 2025, with hard copy submissions due by December 24, 2025, enabling BTech students to apply for aid amid ongoing JEE Main/UPSEE counselling outcomes.
BTech scholarships target SC/ST/OBC/General/Minority students from families with annual income below INR 2 lakh (General/OBC/Minority) or INR 2.5 lakh (SC/ST), requiring at least 50% in Class 12 (45% reserved) and no backlogs. The scheme disburses up to INR 13,500 annually for tuition and maintenance, directly credited via DBT to PFMS-linked accounts, supporting over 100,000 engineering students yearly and aligning with Uttar Pradesh’s industrial growth initiatives like the UP Semiconductor Policy.
