AICTE YASHASVI Scholarship 2026-27 – Eligibility, Amount, State-Wise Seats & How to Apply

  • This article covers the AICTE YASHASVI Scholarship (Young Achievers' Scholarship and Holistic Academic Skills Venture Initiative), run by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) for engineering and diploma students, applied for on yashasvi.aicte.gov.in. This is a different scheme from PM-YASASVI (PM Young Achievers Scholarship Award Scheme for Vibrant India), which is run by the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment for OBC/EBC/DNT students in Class 9 and 11, applied for through the National Scholarship Portal. The two names sound almost identical, so make sure you're on the correct scheme before applying.
  • The AICTE YASHASVI Scholarship Scheme, commenced in Academic Year 2024-25, supports meritorious students pursuing First Year Degree or Diploma level engineering courses in core branches - Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Agriculture Engineering, and Textile Technology - at AICTE-approved technical institutions. The scheme aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020's push to strengthen core engineering education in India.
