Directorate of Higher Education Nagaland has informed all students, parents, and educational institutions that the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) and the Common Scholarship Portal (CSP) are official government platforms for scholarship applications, accessible to all eligible applicants. No individual, centre, or organisation/society has been authorised to exclusively collect or process scholarship applications.

Applications are submitted online by students, verified by the Institution Nodal Officer (INO) of the concerned institution, and further verified at district/state level. The INO must be a regular employee of the institution. Any institution that appoints or engages an outsider as INO shall be held solely accountable and liable for all consequences arising therefrom. Applicants must upload only genuine documents issued by competent authorities. Submission of false or fabricated documents will result in rejection and may invite legal action.
