The deadline for the AICTE SARSWATI Scholarship, an important scheme for enabling young women to pursue technical education, is approaching quickly. Potential candidates have one day left in which to submit their applications for this scholarship, which provides a financial grant of Rs 25,000 per year for three years. This scholarship is targeted towards assisting girls who are taking undergraduate programs like BBA, BCA, and BMS from AICTE-approved universities so that they can pay their college fees and other required educational expenses. It is particularly meant to allow financial shortcomings not to become a hindrance to the academic advancement of promising female students.

The AICTE SARSWATI Scholarship Scheme is a significant step towards motivating young women to undergo technical education as it offers them financial assistance. The scholarship award is Rs 25,000 per annum, which can be utilized for all educational expenses, such as college fees, books, stationery, software, and even computers. But it does not cater to hostel accommodation or medical expenditure. 3,110 scholarships are given each year, and the target group consists of students hailing from families whose income limit annually is Rs 8 lakh.

To be considered eligible for the scholarship, applicants need to satisfy a number of conditions. To begin with, the applicant should be a girl candidate who has been admitted to the first year of courses such as BBA, BCA, or BMS in AICTE-approved colleges. In addition, the scholarship also enables a maximum of two girl children from each family to avail themselves of it, so more families can enjoy the scheme. A genuine income certificate is also needed to establish that the family income is below the stipulated limit of Rs 8 lakh per year.

The AICTE SARSWATI Scholarship selection process is based on merit. They are selected on the basis of their performance in the qualifying exam, usually the 10+2 or equivalent. If two or more candidates secure the same marks, other considerations are taken into account, including the marks secured in the class X examination and, if required, the age of the candidate. Merit-based selection allows deserving students from all economic backgrounds to be able to receive this valuable financial assistance.

The application for the AICTE SARSWATI Scholarship is made online through the AICTE SARSWATI Scholarship Portal and National Scholarship Portal. After submitting the applications, the application is verified by the institution in which the candidate is studying prior to being subjected to a second-level scrutiny by AICTE.
