Established in 2013, the IET India Scholarship Award was created with the vision of identifying and supporting engineering students who not only excel academically but also demonstrate a deep commitment to innovation and solving real-world problems.
The 2025 edition offers a total prize pool of ₹10 lakhs, with the national winner receiving ₹3,00,000, in addition to significant exposure at major industry events, mentorship opportunities, and national recognition. The programme is completely free to apply, making it one of the most accessible and high-value scholarships available to undergraduate engineers in India. There is no age limit, but applicants must have a minimum aggregate of 60% or a CGPA of 6.0 on a 10-point scale.
The four-stage selection process is designed to evaluate not just theoretical knowledge but real-world application and innovation.
