KOHIMA, 10th July, 2026 (Nokinketer News): The Directorate of Higher Education has informed students, parents and educational institutions that the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) and the Common Scholarship Portal (CSP) are the only official government platforms for scholarship applications, and that no individual, centre, organisation or society has been authorised to exclusively collect or process scholarship applications.

In a notification, the directorate stated that scholarship applications are submitted online by students, verified by the Institution Nodal Officer (INO) of the concerned institution, and subsequently verified at the district and state levels.

It said the INO must be a regular employee of the institution. Any institution appointing or engaging an outsider as INO would be held solely responsible and liable for any consequences arising from such an arrangement.

The directorate also cautioned applicants to upload only genuine documents issued by competent authorities, warning that submission of false or fabricated documents would result in rejection of the application and could invite legal action.

Students, parents and institutions have been advised to remain vigilant against misinformation and fraudulent claims, while ensuring that the scholarship application process remains free, fair and transparent.
