The AICTE – Post Graduate GATE / GPAT / CEED Scholarship Scheme supports Indian students pursuing approved postgraduate programs in engineering, pharmacy, architecture, and design. The scholarship is awarded to first-year students of the academic year who have secured qualifying marks with a valid GATE, GPAT, or CEED score. The scheme aims to financially assist meritorious students enrolled in AICTE-approved institutions, ensuring access to higher education without financial constraints. The official page provides detailed guidelines for disbursement and eligibility criteria.

Students admitted to AICTE-approved postgraduate programs such as M.E., M.Tech., M.Pharm., M.Arch., or M.Des. are eligible. Applicants must have a valid GATE, GPAT, or CEED score and meet the qualifying marks set by the respective examination authorities. The scheme is open to Indian nationals without any income-based restrictions. Reserved category students (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, PwD) are encouraged to apply as per government norms.

Institutions must submit online proposals through the AICTE portal for scholarship disbursement to eligible students. Students should ensure their admission is confirmed in an AICTE-approved program and their GATE/GPAT/CEED scores are valid. The institution will verify and forward the application to AICTE for approval. Students are advised to check the official AICTE notification for step-by-step instructions and timelines.
