How do you register on the Digital Gujarat portal?
Registration takes a few minutes. Enter your mobile number, email address, a password and the captcha. An OTP goes to the mobile number for verification, so use a number you can answer.
No phone of your own? Use a parent, brother, sister or close relative’s number. Keep it active until your scholarship is paid. Already registered? Skip to login.
How do you log in with OTP?
- Open the citizen login page.
- Type your registered email or mobile number.
- Enter your password and the captcha.
- Type the OTP sent to your phone or email.
Forgot your password? Tap Forgot Password and follow the prompts. The reset link or code goes to your registered contact.
Login not working? Common problems and fixes
Students on Reddit, Facebook and Instagram report the same few errors. Try these in order. Portal behavior can change, so treat the official site as final.
Invalid username or password
Use the exact email or mobile number from registration. Check caps lock and retype the captcha. Still failing? Use Forgot Password instead of guessing again.
OTP or SMS not received
Wait a few minutes before you request again. Check signal and storage on your phone. Make sure the number is the one you registered. Tap resend once, not many times.
“Object reference” error on the form
This message is common on busy days. Log out, clear your browser cache, then sign in with another browser. If it stays, try again early morning or late night.
Portal not working or server error
Traffic spikes near deadlines. Try off-peak hours, a different browser or the mobile app. Do not submit twice. One student can send only one application.
Status is blank after you applied
Confirm that you finished the last steps: print, college verification and mobile OTP submit. Then open Services and Scholarship Services to view your application again.
Consent or Aadhaar verification keeps failing
Allow the consent request when it appears. Check that your name matches your Aadhaar and that your mobile is linked. If it still fails, retry later or from another device.
How do you pick the right scholarship scheme?
After login, open the Services tab. Choose Scholarship Services from the menu. You will see schemes by department, such as SC, ST, SEBC/EBC/NTDNT, Higher Education, Social Defence, Labour and Skill Development. Read the eligibility for each scheme before you continue.
Next, pick the financial year and your scheme, then press Continue Service.
The 5 steps to fill the scholarship form
The steps are almost the same for every scheme. The example below is the SC post-matric scholarship with a Freeship Card. Tap a step to open it.
Registration details
Enter your name as on your mark sheet and as on Aadhaar, date of birth, gender and Aadhaar number. Press Verify Aadhaar and give consent for direct bank transfer. Then add your ration card member number and press Get Details.
