    Yes, No scholarships were credited to the applicants though their applications were accepted twice in central & later state portal which were painfully slow & unresponsive causing hardship to applicants & their parents who had to visit cyber several times.
    It is the same case for Minority Scholarship applicants as well as per latest information.
