What is AICTE Saksham Scholarship
Are you a specially-abled student in a technical course? The government has a great plan for you. The Saksham scheme removes your financial worries during college.
This is what nobody tells you. The money helps buy special equipment to make your studies easier. It goes directly to your bank.
Who Can Apply
You must have a certified disability of 40% or more. You must be in the first year of a technical degree or diploma.
Your family income must be under ₹8 lakh per year. Your college must be AICTE approved.
Here is where people get confused. Management quota students are not allowed. You must join through the regular admission process.
