e-Grantz Gujarat 2026-27: Is There One? How Gujarat Students Apply Instead

e-Grantz vs Digital Gujarat: What Is the Difference?

People often search "e-Grantz Gujarat" because they know e-Grantz as "the scholarship portal" from Kerala results, or because they are looking for the Gujarat version of it. The two are separate systems run by separate state governments. Using the wrong one wastes time and can hold up your money.

Choose the portal by your state of domicile, not by the name of the scheme you heard about.

Gujarat Post-Matric Scholarship 2026-27: Important Dates

Gujarat runs separate windows for SC and Developing Caste students, and for ST students. The dates below are the 2026-27 application windows reported for post-matric schemes. Confirm the final dates on the portal before you rely on them.

Which Scheme Should You Pick on Digital Gujarat?

Digital Gujarat is not one scheme. It groups many scholarship services, and each has its own income limit and amount. Students with family income up to ₹2.5 lakh generally apply under the central scheme for their category. Higher-income students look at the state schemes for their category. Read your department's 2026-27 circular before you choose.

You can only take one scholarship for the same course year, so pick carefully. If you are a merit-based applicant, compare with the SEB Scholarship Gujarat page. For all schemes side by side, use our Gujarat Scholarship 2026-27 overview.
