Desk notes
Quote from the 'AICTE - Pragati Scholarship Scheme For Girl Students ( Technical Degree) (Merit Based Scheme)' block on NSP. Guideline: scholarships.gov.in/public/schemeGuidelines/AICTE/AICTE_2010_G.pdf. The IIT exclusion is my reading (IITs are Institutes of National Importance, not AICTE-approved), so please confirm. Strong fit for NIT and state-college readers. A sister Saksham scheme (specially-abled students) has the same 30 Nov date. NSP extended student applications from 31-10-2026 to 30-11-2026 (seen 31 Oct 2026); institute verification now to 15-12-2026.
