For the purpose of verifying the legitimacy of scholarship winners, the NSP Scholarship Biometric Authentication process is of utmost importance. This procedure, started by the government to address inconsistencies in the verification process for the 2022–2023 academic year, makes sure that scholarships are distributed correctly. Applicants are recommended to link their Aadhaar number with their bank account in order to speed up this disbursement. Here is a thorough guide explaining the NSP Scholarship Biometric Authentication process step-by-step.

Update Aadhaar for NSP Biometric Authentication:
Before the deadline of August 25, 2023, all candidates must update their Aadhaar information on the NSP portal. To ensure efficient Aadhaar-based authentication, this step is crucial. For applicants who are under the age of 18, the Aadhaar information for their parents or legal guardians must be updated.
Required Records/Information:
When attending the Common Service Centre (CSC) for biometric authentication, applicants must have their NSP Account Details, including their Aadhaar Card, Application ID, Username, and Password.
Biometric authentication process:
- To complete the biometric authentication procedure for revalidated applicants, the Common Service Centre (CSC) Village Level Entrepreneur (VLE) will hold camps in a number of institutions.
- For the biometric authentication process, candidates should report to the CSC VLE with their Aadhaar number and NSP user ID.
- Through the NSP biometric authentication tool, the CSC VLE will verify the information supplied by the applicants.
- The applicant’s details will be shown on the NSP-BA tool for confirmation if the information matches a record in the NSP database. The applicant will subsequently be captured in a live shot by the CSC VLE.
- Once a successful validation has been accomplished, the CSC VLE will move forward with the biometric authentication process for the applicant.
- The NSP portal will be updated with the outcomes of the authentication process, including success or failure, as well as other transaction details, following successful biometric authentication. The data will then be stored in the CSC database.
Revalidation of Applicants by INOs/DNOs Process:
- The Institution Nodal Officer (INO) logins will allow users to revalidate applications that have successfully undergone biometric authentication.
- Only successful completion of the Head of Institute (HoI) and INO bio-authentication processes will allow for INO re-validation.
- Students who have applications that have been forwarded to their INOs for re-validation will receive an SMS notice.
- Applications will be escalated to State Nodal Officers (SNOs) or District Nodal Officers (DNOs) for re-validation if INOs fail to re-validate them by the deadline.
- Applications will be marked as Accepted or Rejected during re-validation by L1 or L2 officers; there is no other re-validation option available.
