प्राप्त (praapt)
adjective/verb
An adjective meaning 'obtained/received', almost always used with होना (honaa) or करना (karnaa) as a fixed pair rather than standing alone -- प्राप्त होना (praapt honaa) 'to be obtained/received' and प्राप्त करना (praapt karnaa) 'to obtain/attain'. It is a more formal register-mate of मिलना (milnaa).
Sense
1
:
obtained, received, attained (as a state)
adjective Functions as the complement in the compound प्राप्त होना (praapt honaa, 'to be obtained/received'), which behaves grammatically like an intransitive verb of arrival -- the thing received is the subject, and the recipient is marked with को (ko): उसे इनाम प्राप्त हुआ (use inaam praapt huaa, 'he received an award').
Synonyms: हासिल (haasil), मिला हुआ (milaa huaa)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: This is the word you'll see on certificates, in official letters, and in news reports -- 'डिग्री प्राप्त की' (digrii praapt kii, 'obtained the degree') sounds like a report card or resume, whereas 'डिग्री मिली' (digrii milii) is what you'd actually say to a friend. Recognizing this formal/everyday pairing (प्राप्त (praapt) vs. मिलना (milnaa)) is more useful than memorizing प्राप्त (praapt) as a spoken-Hindi verb.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often use प्राप्त होना (praapt honaa) with a ने-marked recipient by analogy with मिलना (milnaa)'s subject pattern; the recipient here takes को (ko), not ने (ne), since प्राप्त होना (praapt honaa) is intransitive with the received thing as grammatical subject. 2) प्राप्त (praapt) itself is invariant (it doesn't inflect like a typical -आ adjective); learners sometimes try to make it agree by changing its ending.

Sense
2
:
to obtain, attain (through effort)
verb, transitive Only occurs as the compound प्राप्त करना (praapt karnaa); प्राप्त (praapt) never takes verb endings directly. The subject who works to attain the goal takes ने (ne) in the perfective, following normal transitive agreement with the object.
Synonyms: हासिल करना (haasil karnaa), पाना (paanaa)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: प्राप्त करना (praapt karnaa) carries a flavor of effort and achievement -- छात्रवृत्ति प्राप्त करना (chhaatrvritti praapt karnaa, 'to obtain a scholarship') implies you worked for it, unlike the more neutral मिलना (milnaa) which can suggest something simply came your way.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes treat प्राप्त करना (praapt karnaa) as interchangeable with मिलना (milnaa) constructions and wrongly mark the subject with को (ko); with प्राप्त करना (praapt karnaa) the achiever is the ने-marked subject, not a को-marked recipient. 2) Overusing this formal verb in casual speech where पाना (paanaa) or मिलना (milnaa) would sound far more natural.

She obtained this scholarship through hard work.
(usne kadii mehnat se yah chhaatrvritti praapt kii।)
