AICTE PG Scholarship

If you are a GATE/GPAT-qualified student starting the postgraduate course in technical education, here is a good opportunity for you: The AICTE PG Scholarship 2025, which will basically be of financial and academic benefit to you. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) offers this scholarship at the central level to assist students enrolled in M.E., M.Tech., M.Pharm., or M.Arch. at institutions approved by AICTE.

The scheme, however, is far beyond mere financial assistance; it facilitates access to research, academic mentorship, and a less rocky future path toward teaching or innovation.
