Your BISP-NSER poverty score comes from the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) survey conducted by BISP (Benazir Income Support Programme). If your household has been surveyed, you can check your score via the BISP helpline (0800-26477) or at a BISP Tehsil Office. If your household has not been surveyed, you can request a re-survey at your nearest BISP office. The KDDP requires a score between 0 and 45 - only households in the most economically disadvantaged category qualify. Allow several weeks for score verification before the scholarship deadline.

KDDP scholarship recipients are not permitted to hold any other scholarship simultaneously. If you receive another scholarship after KDDP is awarded, you must formally notify the KDDP Management Unit. Concealing a dual scholarship situation can lead to cancellation and potential legal consequences under the scholarship agreement. Choose the scholarship that provides the most comprehensive support and formally decline the other.
