JAMMU, July 16: For online registration of J&K students to avail the Prime Minister’s Special Scholarship, the AICTE portal is likely to be reopened for two-three days around July 20.
This has been informed by Col P S Bhatnagar, Director & Consultant-CSR.
For online registration, the students are required to go to a nearby cyber café along with their passport size photograph, mark sheets of 10th and 12th standard and income certificate.
“Log on to the website www.aicte-jk-scholarship.in and then click on NEW REGISTRATION. After uploading the photograph and filling up the columns on the first page, click on `Save’ and `Next’. Go to the second page and fill the form. After filling up, take print of this form and then go to the Principal Government Degree College of your district who will verify all the documents, put a seal and signature and also give the applicant’s copy, which is part of the 2nd page of the form,’ explains a handout.
Aimed to provide quality education to the students of J&K outside their State, the Prime Minister’s Special Scholarship Scheme is for sections of the society whose annual income is less than Rs 6 lakhs per annum.
As the AICTE portal was earlier opened for a short while up to July 3, 2014 and later extended up to July 10, 2014, a lot of young boys and girls from far flung areas were left out for getting online registration.
