IET India scholarship last date June 22
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. With over 65,000 applications in the previous edition, the Award has become a sought-after platform for aspiring engineers eager to make a meaningful impact on society through technology.
The 2025 edition offers a total prize pool of Rs10 lakh, 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. The scholarship is open to students currently pursuing full-time undergraduate engineering programmes (any year of study, any specialisation) in AICTE/UGC-approved institutions across India. There is no age limit, but applicants must have a minimum aggregate of 60 per cent or a CGPA of 6.0 on a 10-point scale.

IIT Guwahati launches Artificial Intelligence Quotient Program for K12
Synopsis IIT Guwahati, in collaboration with Get Set Learn, has launched the Artificial Intelligence Quotient (AIQ), a structured AI education program for K12 students. This initiative, under 'Project Vidhya,' aims to advance digital and AI literacy through a research-backed curriculum. The program introduces AI, Robotics, and IoT, preparing students for a future driven by technology and aligning with national educational goals. ANI Guwahati: The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, in collaboration with Get Set Learn (GSL), a future-skills-focused learning startup backed by the Arvind Mafatlal Group, has announced the launch of the Artificial Intelligence Quotient (AIQ) – a structured AI education programme designed for K12. Launched under IIT Guwahati's flagship initiative 'Project Vidhya', the programme will enable advance digital and AI literacy through research-backed curriculum design, faculty-led interventions, and outreach to learners across AICTE declaring 2025 as the 'Year of AI' and national initiatives like 'AI For All' (via NITI Aayog) and UNESCO's guidelines on AI in Education, the need for early AI literacy has never been more essential. Keeping this in mind, the Artificial Intelligence Quotient (AIQ) aims to equip students with the foundational understanding, practical skills, and ethical lens needed to engage meaningfully with emerging technologies. The programme introduces learners to the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) through a blend of hands-on projects, guided digital learning, and real-world problem-solving. Talking about the programme, Dr. Gaurav Trivedi, Principal Investigator, Project Vidhya, Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, IIT Guwahati said, 'This is one of the first structured AI programmes in India for middle school students. We have co-developed AIQ to balance academic depth with accessibility. It introduces students to emerging technologies while strengthening creative thinking, problem solving, and ethical awareness. We aim to foster innovation at a very tender age, preparing many Eklavyas for Bharat towards self-reliance and technology independence in the future,' he added. 'India's education vision, articulated through NEP 2020 and the AICTE's 'Year of AI 2025' initiative, underscores the growing need to integrate AI into our school curriculum,' said Ameet Zaveri, CEO & Co-founder of Get Set Learn. 'In collaboration with IIT Guwahati, we have built a rigorous, hands-on programme that reflects both national goals and global best practices. Our aim is to prepare every student, regardless of background, to engage meaningfully with AI and contribute to the future', he further will receive a joint certificate from IIT Guwahati and Get Set Learn upon completing the programme, validating their participation and achievements. Masterclasses with IIT faculty and capstone challenges are part of the learning journey. The rollout begins in the 2025–26 academic year, starting with Grade 6 and expanding to other levels and grades each subsequent year. This marks the first time IIT Guwahati has co-developed a full K–12 programme in artificial intelligence with GSL, which brings deep experience in delivering STEM and future technology programmes across Indian schools. AIQ is designed to be inclusive. With elements of storytelling, design, art, and ethics integrated into the curriculum, students across disciplines can engage meaningfully with AI. The goal is for students to understand AI, question it, and learn to build responsibly with it. This initiative directly addresses the growing AI skills gap in K-12 education and the lack of future-ready STEM programs. By providing an interdisciplinary, practical tech education, GSL and IIT Guwahati aim to bridge the school-to-industry skills mismatch, aligning with both the National Education Policy (NEP) and global skill demands.
