After completing One Time Registration (OTR) for your scholarship, you might realize that some details need to be changed — maybe your mobile number has changed, you entered the wrong spelling of your name, or you got a new bank account.
The good news is, most scholarship portals, including the National Scholarship Portal (NSP), allow you to update your OTR profile online. But you have to follow the proper process, because some details can only be changed within a limited time.
📍 When Should You Update Your OTR Profile?

You changed your mobile number or email ID.
-
Your bank account details have been updated.
-
You noticed spelling mistakes in your name or address.
-
You uploaded wrong documents during OTR.
