Q.14. What documents should I submit to receive the scholarship?
For the release of scholarship, one should submit year-wise Performance Report in prescribed
format and Mark Sheet of scholar’s B.Sc., B.S., Int. M.Sc./M.S. course. Blank format of the
Performance report is available on INSPIRE web-portal https://www.online-inspire.gov.in.
Performance Report must be signed by the Head of Institution. The Head of Institution here
refers to (a) Vice-Chancellor/Registrar/Dean of Science in case of Universities and (b)
Principal/Vice-Principal, Proctor and Officer-in-Charge in case of Colleges. Attestation of the
endorsement forms by officers other than those mentioned above (such as Head of the
Department, Section officers, Student welfare officers, etc.) shall NOT be accepted.The Head
of the Institution should clearly mention whether the scholarship should be continued or
discontinued for that academic year.
Self-attested photocopy of the Mark Sheets (annual/individual semesters) received from the
College/University must be enclosed along with the Performance Report. Provisional mark
sheets and result sheets downloaded from the internet shall NOT be accepted. However, Self-
attested Internet mark sheet duly attested by Controller of Examination or Registrar of
College/University is acceptable only in the case of non-availability of original mark sheets.
Q.15. When should I submit the documents?
a) The Annual Performance Report and Mark Sheets (annual/two semesters) should be
submitted as soon as the results of respective examinations are announced. Scholarship shall
be released only after approval of the Performance Report and mark sheets as per norms.
Scholar shall submit all the above referred documents together and not in part mode(s).
b) Scholars are advised to submit their yearly Mark-sheets and Performance Report on-time,
preferably within two (2) months of announcement of yearly result to facilitate the payment
of scholarship by DST-INSPIRE. However, keeping in view the diverse time schedules (late
session) of the examinations in Universities across the country, scholars are permitted for a
maximum period of twelve (12) months to submit their Performance Report and Mark Sheets
for a given completed academic year ending June every year. For example, a 2014 batch
enrolled student is expected to submit the First Year Performance Report and First Year Mark
Sheet before 30th June 2016. This analogy can be followed by other batches for the release of
the INSPIRE Scholarship. After the expiry of maximum time period of 12 months, no
document shall be considered. No representations in this regard shall be entertained.
Q.16. When will I receive the scholarship?
Initially, scholarship shall be released only after the approval of 1
st
Year B.Sc., B.S., Int.
M.Sc./M.S. Performance Reports and Mark Sheets provided scholar’s academic performance
is satisfactory. Further, Two years of scholarship (i.e. ` 1,20,000/-) shall be released during
second year of scholar’s B.Sc./Int. M.Sc. course.In the following years, the scholarship shall
be released after the approval of yearly Performance Reports and Mark sheets.
