AICTE Pragati Scholarship 2026–27: ₹50,000 Support for Girl Students

By JobJet · Sources checked 26 October 2026

For a student starting technical education, recurring costs extend beyond the admission fee. Pragati is designed to help eligible girls meet study expenses while pursuing an approved technical degree or diploma. Before applying, identify the correct course-level entry on NSP: degree and diploma applications are listed separately.

Key details

Who can apply?Girls admitted to the first year, or second year through lateral entry, at an AICTE-approved institution.
Income conditionAnnual family income from all sources must not exceed ₹8 lakh, under the linked guidelines.
Annual benefit₹50,000, subject to selection, continued eligibility and renewal.
Student deadline31 October 2026, according to the current NSP degree and diploma listings.

How long can support continue?

The degree guidelines allow up to four years for first-year entrants and three years for lateral-entry students. The diploma limits are three and two years respectively. These are maximum durations, not an automatic promise of payment for every enrolled year.

Eligibility points to check

The guidelines permit a maximum of two eligible girls from one family. Verify the institution’s approval for your admission year and keep the prescribed income evidence ready. Selection uses qualifying-examination merit, and renewal requires academic progression and the specified records.

What the grant covers

The ₹50,000 is a yearly lump sum intended for study-related costs such as fees, books, equipment and computing needs. The linked rules do not provide a separate hostel or medical grant under Pragati. Plan expenses around an approved award rather than assuming every cost will be reimbursed.

Prepare a clear application

  1. Choose the degree or diploma Pragati entry that matches your admission.
  2. Compare your entry route and income documents with the official checklist.
  3. Check that names, course details and institution identifiers agree across records.
  4. Save the submitted acknowledgement and follow up on institution verification.

For a renewal, prepare the passing/progression evidence requested on NSP. Read the current conditions on other financial assistance before accepting overlapping awards.
