The Scholarship Situation
Imagine this: You've worked hard on your scholarship application, submitted it on time, and then... nothing happens. That's the situation many students in Himachal found themselves in. About 560 online applications were stuck in limbo, waiting to be verified. Not cool, right?
The Good News
But wait! There's a silver lining. The education department has come to the rescue. They've extended the verification deadline to January 28th. That's like getting extra time in an exam – always a relief!
Why the Delay?
