A Class 11 student from Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, messaged me last October — “Sir, meri scholarship ka paisa abhi tak nahi aaya. Status kaise check karein?”
Three things were wrong — his Samagra ID was not linked, eKYC was pending, and he had been checking the wrong portal.
Five minutes on shikshaportal.mp.gov.in — status found, issue identified, problem solved.
MP Shiksha Portal (shikshaportal.mp.gov.in) is the official education portal of the Madhya Pradesh Government — the single platform for student scholarship status, school login, teacher login, eKYC, and MP Scholarship Portal 2.0 access. If you are a student, teacher, or school admin in MP — everything you need is here.

What is MP Shiksha Portal?
MP Shiksha Portal is an initiative by the School Education Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh. It is the state’s central digital platform that manages everything related to school education — student records, teacher information, scholarships, attendance, school infrastructure, and much more.
In simple terms — if you are part of any government school system in Madhya Pradesh, this portal will come up at some point.
⚡ 2026 Update — Education Portal 3.0: MP Government launched Education Portal 3.0 from April 1, 2025 — a unified platform that consolidates Shiksha Portal 2.0, teacher portals, and school admin systems. New unified portal: educationportal.mp.gov.in. However, shikshaportal.mp.gov.in remains active for scholarship-related services and student access.
Student Login — How to Login on MP Shiksha Portal
Students use the Shiksha Portal primarily to check scholarship status and manage their academic profile.
Step 1: Go to the official portal 👉 shikshaportal.mp.gov.in
Step 2: On the homepage, look for “Student Corner” or the student login section
Step 3: Enter your Samagra ID — this is your 9-digit member ID. This is mandatory. Without it, student login does not work.
Step 4: Enter the academic year
Step 5: Enter the captcha code shown on screen
Step 6: Click “View Details” — your student profile and scholarship information will appear
⚡ Most common mistake: Students enter their 8-digit Family Samagra ID instead of the 9-digit Member Samagra ID. These are different. Your Member ID is your personal one — check your Samagra card or ask your school for it.
Scholarship Status Check — Step by Step
This is the most searched function on the entire portal. Here is exactly how to do it.
Step 1: Visit: 👉 shikshaportal.mp.gov.in
Step 2: On the homepage, click “छात्रवृत्ति की स्थिति जानें” (Know Scholarship Status)
Step 3: Enter your Samagra ID (9-digit Member ID)
Step 4: Select the Academic Year from the dropdown
Step 5: Enter Captcha
Step 6: Click “छात्रवृत्ति संबंधित जानकारी देखें” (View Scholarship Information)
Your scholarship status will appear — showing whether it is approved, pending, rejected, or paid.
What the status means:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Application under review |
| Approved | Scholarship approved — payment in process |
| Payment Done | ✅ Amount transferred to your bank account |
| Rejected | Check reason — reapply or correct documents |
| eKYC Pending | Complete eKYC first — payment will not process without it |
eKYC — Why It is Important and How to Do It
If your scholarship status shows “eKYC Pending” — your payment will NOT come until this is done. This is the single biggest reason students do not receive scholarship money on time.
Step 1: On shikshaportal.mp.gov.in homepage, click the blue “eKYC” button
Step 2: Enter your Aadhaar-linked mobile number
Step 3: Re-enter mobile number to confirm
Step 4: Click “Get OTP”
Step 5: Enter the OTP received on your mobile
Step 6: eKYC complete ✅
⚡ Important: The mobile number you enter must be the one linked to your Aadhaar card. If your Aadhaar mobile number is different or not updated — visit your nearest MP Online or CSC centre to update it first.

Common Problems and How to Fix Them
Problem 1: Samagra ID not working
The most common issue. You are likely entering the 8-digit Family ID instead of the 9-digit Member ID.
Fix: Ask your school for your correct Member Samagra ID. Or visit samagra.gov.in and search by name.
Problem 2: eKYC OTP not coming
Your Aadhaar-linked mobile number is different from what you entered.
Fix: Check which mobile number is linked to your Aadhaar at uidai.gov.in. Use that exact number on the portal.
Problem 3: Scholarship status shows approved but money not received
Your bank account is not Aadhaar-linked or DBT is not enabled.
Fix: Visit your bank branch. Ask them to link your Aadhaar and enable DBT on your account. Once done, the next payment cycle will credit your account.
Problem 4: Portal not loading or very slow
High traffic on government portals — especially during scholarship application season.
Fix: Try early morning between 6–9 AM. Use Chrome browser. Clear cache with Ctrl+Shift+Delete.
Problem 5: Teacher login not working
Education Portal 3.0 has moved some teacher functions to the new system.
Fix: Try educationportal.mp.gov.in instead of the old Shiksha Portal for teacher-specific tasks.

Final Note
That student from Sagar — once his eKYC was done and Samagra ID was correctly entered, his scholarship status updated within a week. The money came in the next payment cycle.
Three things to check right now if your scholarship is pending:
- Is your eKYC done on shikshaportal.mp.gov.in?
- Is your Aadhaar linked to your bank account?
- Are you using your 9-digit Member Samagra ID — not the 8-digit Family ID?
All three done? Then just wait for the next payment cycle.
