Frequently Asked Questions

Can Calicut University students apply for multiple scholarships at once?

Generally, students cannot receive more than one government merit scholarship (such as KSHEC or Suvarna Jubilee) simultaneously for the same academic course. However, category-based fee reimbursements under e-Grantz 3.0 (for SC/ST/OBC/OEC) can often run alongside specific merit stipends if explicitly permitted by the government guidelines.

How do I apply for e-Grantz 3.0 at Calicut University?

To apply for e-Grantz, register on the official e-Grantz 3.0 portal (egrantz.kerala.gov.in) using your Aadhaar card, upload your income/community certificate, and submit your application online. After online submission, submit the printout and documents to your college scholarship counter.

Are distance education (SDE) students of Calicut University eligible for these scholarships?

Most central and state merit scholarships (like KSHEC, Suvarna Jubilee, CSSS) are restricted to regular campus and affiliated college students. However, e-Grantz fee concessions for SC/ST students cover School of Distance Education (SDE) courses under specific university orders.

What is the requirement for Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT)?

All central and state government scholarship payments are transferred directly to the student's bank account via Aadhaar-enabled Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Your bank account must be actively seeded/linked with your Aadhaar number.
