Who is eligible?
Indian graduates with a first class degree who have secured admission to a recognised university abroad for postgraduate study. The award is an interest-free loan scholarship, so selected candidates sign a repayment undertaking.
What the award covers
- Interest-free loan scholarship towards tuition and living costs
Amounts are revised by the awarding body each cycle. Treat this as the shape of the award, not a quotation.
Documents you will need
- Admission letter or proof of application
- Academic transcripts
- Two references
- Financial statement
Worth knowing before you apply
This is a loan scholarship, not a grant: repayment begins after the course ends. Top-ranked candidates each year receive the larger K C Mahindra Fellowship amounts.
Covering what the scholarship does not
A partial award reduces the bill rather than removing it. Work out the remaining figure first, then decide how to fund it — that is the number a lender assesses, not the headline fee.
