Central University of Karnataka has issued a circular informing that Scheduled Caste (SC) category students currently face inability to submit scholarship applications on the Karnataka State Scholarship Portal (SSP) due to pending approval of the fee structure by the Social Welfare Department, Government of Karnataka.
The university explains that the message students see states: “Fee structure for your Course / Discipline / Seat type / Course year is yet to be either received from your concerned Board or University OR Approved from the Social Welfare Department. Hence you are not allowed to submit the application.”
While the university has updated the fee structure for all programmes and disciplines on the SSP portal, final approval by the Social Welfare Department is awaited. Students are advised to remain patient and not to panic.
As of now, students do not need to take any action or visit the Taluk/District Social Welfare Office as the approval process will be handled by the Office of the Commissioner, Social Welfare, Bengaluru.
Students should submit their scholarship applications only after the fee structure approval is granted. The last date for application submission is 31 January 2027.
For latest updates, students may visit the official SSP portal at ssp.karnataka.gov.in.
