Desk notes
Quote from the block 'AICTE - Swanath Scholarship Scheme ( Technical Degree) (Welfare Based Scheme) by All India Council For Technical Education' on NSP (31 Oct 2026; deadline already extended to 30-11-2026). Pay/eligibility from the linked guideline scholarships.gov.in/public/schemeGuidelines/AICTE/AICTE_3039_G.pdf. Students already in 2nd-4th year are eligible (guideline section 2.0(3)). IIT exclusion is my reading (IITs are not AICTE-approved), same as the Pragati row.
