The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has introduced a modified academic schedule for the 2023-24 academic session. As per the newly announced calendar for technical and professional education, the deadline for first-year student admissions into vacant seats at technical institutions has been extended to October 30. Additionally, the last date for lateral entry admissions into second-year courses for newly enrolled students is also October 30. Furthermore, the cutoff date for universities or boards to grant affiliation to technical institutes is also October 30. Nevertheless, institutions offering online and open-distance learning (ODL) programs will adhere to the University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines for approval and course admissions in the first and second sessions. The updated academic calendar is available on the official AICTE website, aicte-india.org. The AICTE made these adjustments in response to a Supreme Court order dated October 13, 2023. Consequently, the deadline for admissions into all AICTE-approved institutions and affiliation with universities has been extended to October 30, 2023. Previously, the deadline for admitting first-year students to institutions was set for September 15, and the affiliation grant deadline was July 31. It’s important to note that these revisions do not apply to standalone PGDM and PGCM institutions.

The Ministry of Education’s Department of School Education and Literacy has initiated the registration process for the National Merit cum Means Scholarship Scheme (NMMSS) for the 2023-24 academic year. This scholarship program is aimed at supporting academically accomplished students in grades 9 to 12 who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Aspiring students can submit their applications through the official National Scholarship Portal (NSP) website at scholarships.gov.in. The deadline for scholarship applications is November 30. The primary objective of this scholarship is to minimize the dropout rate among students after Class 8 and encourage them to pursue their education through the secondary level. Every year, one lakh new scholarships are granted to deserving students starting from Class 9, with the possibility of renewal for classes 10 to 12, particularly for those attending state government schools, government-aided institutions, and local body schools. The scholarship award amounts to Rs 12,000 per annum. The scholarship funds are directly transferred to the selected students’ bank accounts through electronic transfer using the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) and the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode. To be eligible for this scholarship, students must have a parental income not exceeding Rs 3.50 lakh per annum. Additionally, applicants should have secured a minimum of 55 percent marks or equivalent grades in their Class 7 examinations to qualify for the selection test. There is a relaxation of 5 percent in the eligibility criteria for SC and ST students. The application process involves two levels of verification on the NSP platform. The first level of verification, conducted by the Institute Nodal Officer (INO), will take place on December 15. The second level of verification, overseen by the District Nodal Officer (DNO), is scheduled for December 30.
