The Higher Education Department of Odisha has reopened the online scholarship portal for the academic session 2025-26.
Students can apply under the Mukhyamantri Medhabi Chhatra Protsahan Yojana until February 26, 2026.
Applications opened on February 6 and will close on February 26, with no further extension. The reopened portal covers several schemes, including e-Medhabruti (UG Merit), e-Medhabruti (PG Merit), e-Medhabruti (Technical & Professional Merit), Byasakabi Fakir Mohan Bhasabruti Scheme, and Gopabandhu Sikhya Sahayata Yojana.
Non-SAMS students must upload required documents through Digilocker for faster verification. The Higher Education Department has advised students to check FAQs on the portal for guidance. Those facing issues can contact helpline numbers 0674-2396550, 0674-2391126, 0674-2391127, and 0674-2391128. Queries can also be sent to scholarshiphed@gmail.com.
The government aims to ensure that eligible students benefit from these scholarships and continue their education without financial hurdles. The reopening of the portal provides an opportunity for students who missed the earlier deadline to apply.
