ONGC — Name not shortlisted in ONGC scholarship 2020 although I am a deserving applicant

Respected Sir/ Ma'am,

I am Sakshi Jaiswal, an applicant of ONGC Scholarship 2020 for OBC category. I have passed graduation with 88.10% and I am not selected for this scholarship based on the merit list provided on the website even though I have scored higher percentages than few students who are selected for this scholarship. Also, I had submitted the documents within the due date.

Being aware that the uploaded list is final, I, being confident with my merit, would still like to request you to please verify once and let me know about the reason for non-approval of my application for this scholarship scheme.

Here, I would also like to mention my perspectives for the possible reasons of non-approval and its justification, which are as follows:

My merit might be less than the cut-off selected by the organizing authority. For this, I am confident that my score is higher than the students in the list to whom I know personally.
I had also applied for fees waiver state level scholarship. Clarifying this, it is nowhere mentioned in the application brochure that I might not be eligible for this scholarship. Also, if the reason for my rejection is because a student cannot receive two scholarships simultaneously, then there is an option to return any one of the scholarship.
I have also contacted Ms./Mrs. Pallavi Wali Ma’am. According to her, I might be late in the submission of documents, since my documents were received before the due date; I hope this should not matter at all.


For the above mentioned points, I request you to please check for any error.

It will be very helpful, if you give a little time from your busy schedule to solve my issue. Please clarify the reason for non-approval of my application and confirm with me the cut-off percentage of Zone-1 students with geodynamics background. If possible, also the criteria for selection because as far as I know its based on merit only.

Please help me for this.

Hoping against the hope to get a response from you.

Thanking You,

SAKSHI JAISWAL
