Beneficiary Workflow

DigiVrtti is a user-friendly, student-centric digital application that simplifies the process of pre-verifying documents for scholarship scheme applications.

Critical Actors

• Student (Beneficiary) Registers, uploads, and manages personal & academic documents.

• DigiAttester (Institution Nodal Officer / verifier) Performs human attestation for documents not verifiable through APIs.

• External Systems / APIs OTR (NSP), State verification APIs (for Caste, Income, Residence), ONEST.

Stage 1: Student Registration & Sign-up

1. Pre-requisite: Student must have completed registration on the NSP portal and obtained OTR (One-Time Registration) number along with the OTR PDF/screenshot.

2. Sign-up Process:

   1. Student opens the DigiVrtti app/web portal.

   2. Uploads OTR PDF/screenshot as an attachment.

   3. Backend performs OCR extraction to read key details:

      • OTR Number

      • Name

      • Gender

      • Date of Birth (if available)

   4. System checks for duplicate OTR.

      • If OTR already exists → Registration is rejected.

      • If new → Proceed to account creation.

3. Account Creation:

   1. Login ID: OTR Number

   2. Initial Password: DigiVrtti@123

   3. On first login, system enforces password reset.

   4. Profile auto created at server side with details extracted from OTR.

Stage 2: Profile Completion

After first login, student must complete personal and educational details.

Profile Fields:

• Profile Picture (passport size)

• Who’s Mobile (Self/Parent/Teacher/Gurdian/Others)

Stage 3: Document Upload & Pre-Verification

A. QR Code Scan Verification (Offline Alternative)

• Student can scan QR code printed on State-issued documents.

• App downloads corresponding PDF page from State portal.

• Backend performs OCR + validation, extracts key attributes:

  • Document type

  • Issuing authority

  • Validity/expiry date

• If details pass checks → Document marked Verified.

B. Manual Attestation via DigiAttester Portal

For documents not verifiable through APIs, such as:

• Marksheet

• Bonafide Certificate

• Admission Letter, etc.

Process:

1. Student uploads scanned document (JPG/JPEG).

2. System categorizes document status as:

   1. Unverified → Uploaded → Verified

3. OCR extracts data (name, institution, year, etc.).

4. Document flows to DigiAttester Portal assigned to INO or verifier.

5. DigiAttester reviews and marks:

   1. Approved → Verified

   2. Rejected → Flag updated in DigiVrtti

6. Audit trail maintained at both ends.

Stage 4: Scheme Notification & Application (via ONEST)

• Once the profile and documents are verified, DigiVrtti syncs with Open Network (ONEST) for scheme notifications.

• Based on the student’s geography, class level, and eligibility:

  • DigiVrtti shows available schemes for that student.

• Student applies directly from DigiVrtti.

Stage 5: Submission to Provider Portal

• For each pre-verified application, DigiVrtti compiles:

  • Applicant data packet

  • Verified document images (JPG/JPEG copies)

All the verified credentials in DigiVrtti will be securely tokenized to establish authenticity, ensure data integrity, and maintain digital trust across connected systems.
