Oasis Scholarship 2026-27: Apply, Status Check, Date, Amount, Eligibility, Documents & Helpline Number
OASIS is the main West Bengal online scholarship system for eligible SC, ST and OBC students under the Backward Classes Welfare and Tribal Development departments. For the 2026-27 session, the portal is already accepting applications for post-matric SC, ST and OBC schemes as well as the listed pre-matric categories. The important change for students is that identity and payment verification now matter as much as the form itself: the portal is asking students to generate the required NSP OTR and to keep an Aadhaar-mapped bank account ready for DBT.
The scholarship amount is not one flat figure. It changes according to category, course group and whether the student is a day scholar or hosteller. The 2026-27 portal is open, but a single final closing date is not currently displayed on the official OASIS homepage. This guide therefore focuses on the live application status, eligibility, representative benefit structure, required documents, tracking process and the official helpline details.

OASIS Scholarship 2026-27 Date
The official OASIS homepage confirms that online applications for the 2026-27 session are open for Post-Matric SC, ST and OBC and for the listed pre-matric schemes. At the time of this update, the portal does not show one common student closing date on the homepage. Applicants should not wait for an unofficial last-date estimate because institute, block/ULB and district verification also take time.
OASIS Scholarship Eligibility
- The student should be a permanent resident of West Bengal and belong to the eligible SC, ST or OBC category for the selected scheme.
- The applicant must be studying in a recognised institution and at the class/course level covered by the scholarship.
- For most post-matric categories, the current income framework commonly uses an annual family income ceiling up to Rs 2.5 lakh. Students should follow the exact category guideline displayed during application.
- The bank account should be active, belong to the student as required and be suitable for Aadhaar-based DBT/NPCI mapping.
- The student should possess the required caste certificate and should complete the NSP OTR process requested by OASIS.
- Applicants studying outside West Bengal can use the special district-selection rule based on their permanent-address district and must follow the outside-state institute verification instructions.
OASIS Scholarship Amount
OASIS benefits vary by scheme, course group and residence status. The table below gives representative post-matric figures used in the current scholarship framework; the amount finally payable is determined by the applicable scheme, verified fee/maintenance component and government sanction.
| Illustrative Category / Group | Day Scholar | Hosteller |
| SC Post-Matric Group I | Around Rs 7,000 annual maintenance component | Around Rs 13,500 annual maintenance component |
| OBC Group A | Up to about Rs 20,000 total annual support under the group structure | Scheme/group based |
| OBC Group B | Up to about Rs 13,000 | Scheme/group based |
| OBC Group C | Up to about Rs 8,000 | Scheme/group based |
| OBC Group D | Up to about Rs 5,000 | Scheme/group based |
| ST post-matric | Course-group monthly/annual rates apply | Higher hosteller rate may apply by group |
Because fee reimbursement and maintenance components can differ, students should treat the live sanction shown in their application as the final amount rather than assuming the highest figure applies to every course.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. My NSP OTR details and OASIS details do not match. What should I do?
Do not continue with conflicting identity data. Correct the source record that is wrong before final submission, because OTR, Aadhaar and scholarship details are used together during verification.
Q. Can a West Bengal student studying in another state apply through OASIS?
Yes, eligible students studying outside West Bengal can use the OASIS route, but the portal instructs them to select the district of their permanent West Bengal address and follow the outside-state institute verification process.
Q. Why has payment not arrived even though my application is sanctioned?
Check the bank account status and Aadhaar-NPCI/DBT mapping first. The OASIS portal specifically advises students to contact the bank if Aadhaar is not available in NPCI mapping.
Q. What if the institute asks for a printed application after online submission?
Provide the printout and listed supporting documents within the institute timeline. Online submission does not replace institution verification where the scheme workflow requires a physical record.
