NSP Scholarship Disability Verification Pending – What Does It Mean?
If your NSP application shows NSP Scholarship Disability Verification Pending, it means your disability certificate has not yet been verified by the concerned authority (usually the District Medical Board or State Nodal Authority). Until this verification is completed, your scholarship application will not move to the next stage such as institute verification, merit processing, or payment.
This status is very common among PwD (Divyang) students and does not mean rejection.
Why NSP Scholarship Disability Verification Is Pending?
Some of the most common reasons behind NSP Scholarship Disability Verification Pending are:
Disability certificate uploaded is unclear or incomplete
Certificate number does not match UDID or state records
Medical authority has not yet verified applications in bulk
High volume of applications causing delay
Certificate issued by an unauthorized medical board
Minor mismatch in name, date of birth, or disability percentage
NSP Scholarship Disability Verification Timeline
Normally, disability verification on NSP may take:
15 to 45 days after final application submission
Longer during peak months (October to January)
If your status has been pending for more than 45–60 days, action is recommended.
