UP Scholarship Portal 2026-27: Document Upload Standards
The Social Welfare Department of Uttar Pradesh (scholarship.up.gov.in) invites scholarship and fee reimbursement applications annually for Pre-Matric (Classes 9 & 10), Post-Matric Intermediate (Classes 11 & 12), and Post-Matric Other Than Inter (Graduation, B.Tech, Diploma, ITI, B.Ed, Medical) students. Because of server load, the portal enforces strict file size ceilings.

How to Fix Common UP Scholarship Upload Errors
- "File size must be less than 20 KB": This error occurs when your photo is even 20.2 KB. Use SizeSnap to target 16 KB to 18 KB for guaranteed server acceptance.
- "PDF File Size Exceeds 100 KB": Scanned PDFs from camscanner apps are typically 1 MB to 2 MB. Use our PDF Compressor to squeeze the file below 95 KB while preserving clear text.
- DigiLocker Verification Failure: Ensure your name and father's name on your Aadhaar card exactly match your High School marksheet.
