The letter stated that UGC offers various scholarships to northeast students and also to students belonging to reserved categories through its National Scholarship Portal (NSP Portal). However, due to the delay in the admission process of DU, students could not apply for scholarships on the NSP portal.
The last date for applying for the scholarship was 20th January while many students failed to apply for it before the deadline. Therefore, Delhi University students are demanding that they should be given a chance and the application process should be restarted.
