Common Mistakes — Why PM YASASVI Applications Get Rejected
- ✗Family income certificate showing an amount above the ₹2.5 lakh annual limit, leading to rejection.
- ✗Uploading a Caste Certificate that does not establish OBC/EBC/DNT status, or one that has expired.
- ✗Aadhaar not linked to the bank account, so the scholarship amount cannot be transferred by DBT.
- ✗Skipping the NTA YASASVI Entrance Test — selection is only through this exam, so a direct application without it is invalid.
- ✗Applying on a fake scholarship website instead of the official NTA portal yet.nta.ac.in, or paying an agent.
