But to even qualify for this awesome opportunity, your family income needs to be under \u20b98 lakh per year &#8211; and there&#8217;s another catch: only two girls per family are eligible for the scholarship &#8211; sorry, families with multiple talented daughters!. You&#8217;ll also need to be admitted to your first or second year &#8211; or if you&#8217;ve got a bit later in your studies, then maybe through the lateral entry route\u00a0. To get your application in, head on over to the National Scholarship Portal (scholarships.gov.in) and submit your details by the deadline of <strong>31st October, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_CliffsNotes_Version\"><\/span><strong>The CliffsNotes Version<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What&#8217;s it all about:<\/strong> The AICTE Pragati Scholarship gives out \u20b950,000 every year to help girl students in technical degree\/diploma programs cover their costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Who can get in on the action:<\/strong> This is for Female Indian students studying technical courses in AICTE-approved institutions, who come from families earning under \u20b98 lakh per year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A Family Affair:<\/strong> The maximum two girls from one family are eligible to receive this scholarship &#8211; so, good luck to those with lots of clever sisters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Money Stuff:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll get a total of \u20b950,000 every year &#8211; a one-off payment to help cover all those essential education expenses, from tuition fees to books and even equipment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When&#8217;s The Deadline:<\/strong> It&#8217;s 31st October, 2026 &#8211; so make sure you get your application in on time!<\/li>\n<li><strong>How to Apply:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s a click-and-done affair: just head over to the National Scholarship Portal (scholarships.gov.in).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_Pragati_Scholarship_All_About\"><\/span><strong>What&#8217;s the Pragati Scholarship All About?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-25657864 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/young-nurse-with-clipboard-pencil-1-300x200.webp\" alt=\"What's the Pragati Scholarship All About?\" width=\"668\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/young-nurse-with-clipboard-pencil-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/young-nurse-with-clipboard-pencil-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/young-nurse-with-clipboard-pencil-1-768x513.webp 768w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/young-nurse-with-clipboard-pencil-1-1536x1025.webp 1536w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/young-nurse-with-clipboard-pencil-1-2048x1367.webp 2048w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/young-nurse-with-clipboard-pencil-1-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/young-nurse-with-clipboard-pencil-1-750x501.webp 750w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/young-nurse-with-clipboard-pencil-1-1140x761.webp 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Pragati Scholarship Scheme is a pretty cool initiative by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) &#8211; and its main goal is to give more girls the chance to pursue technical education\u00a0. You see, traditionally there&#8217;ve been relatively few women in fields like engineering and technology &#8211; but the Pragati Scholarship is designed to change that.<\/p>\n<p>The scholarship itself provides a generous \u20b950,000 every year to eligible girl students &#8211; and this is the kind of cash that can really make a big difference in terms of covering all those educational expenses, from paying for textbooks and stationery to buying a new laptop or computer. And by reducing the financial burden on families, the Pragati Scholarship is helping to pave the way for more girls to access quality technical education &#8211; which is just brilliant.<\/p>\n<hr
