The AICTE Saksham Scholarship Scheme is a central government initiative implemented by the All India Council for Technical Education to support specially-abled students pursuing technical education. The scheme aims to encourage and assist students with disabilities to achieve their academic goals and transition into professional careers. It provides financial assistance for the duration of the degree or diploma program in AICTE-approved institutions. The scholarship is specifically designed for students with a disability of not less than 40%.
