AICTE Saksham Scholarship Scheme
The AICTE Saksham Scholarship is a central government initiative designed to provide financial assistance to specially-abled students pursuing technical education. Managed by the All India Council for Technical Education, the scheme aims to encourage and support students with disabilities to acquire professional qualifications. It targets students enrolled in the first year or second year through lateral entry in AICTE-approved technical institutions for degree or diploma programs. The scholarship focuses on providing a level playing field for students with physical disabilities, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder their professional growth. Selected candidates receive a consolidated amount annually to cover tuition fees and incidental expenses. The program serves as a critical tool for social inclusion and empowerment within the Indian higher education landscape.
