The Engineering and Technology scholarship supports students enrolled in non-university technical institutions across India. It is open to applicants at all study levels pursuing engineering or technology-related courses outside the conventional university system. The scholarship highlights premier institutes such as the Central Institute of Tool Design, Central Leather Research Institute, and Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology, offering specialized postgraduate and diploma programs in tool design, leather processing, and plastics engineering. These institutes operate through multiple extension centers nationwide, providing accessible technical education opportunities.

Applicants must be Indian nationals enrolled in recognized engineering or technology programs at non-university institutions. Eligibility varies by course: for tool design, a degree in Mechanical or Production Engineering with a Master Certificate in CAD/CAM is required; for leather processing, a B.Sc degree is mandatory. Candidates from all categories—General, SC, ST, OBC, EBC, EWS, PwD, and DNT—are eligible, subject to meeting the specific academic criteria of the chosen program.

Interested candidates should first confirm their eligibility for the specific course and institute. Applications are typically submitted directly to the respective institute through their official admission portals or offline processes. Required documents usually include academic transcripts, certificates, and proof of identity. The official page lists the current application procedure, deadlines, and required forms. Students are advised to verify details on the institute’s website before applying.
