Scholarship Exam Details

The K.C. Mahindra Search for Talent Scholarship is a reward-based initiative by the K.C. Mahindra Education Trust. Unlike their postgraduate loan, this is a Grant-in-Aid specifically for school students. It aims to recognize and reward academic excellence in Class 10 and Class 12 board exams, especially for students from middle and lower-income families. For 2026, the scholarship provides a one-time reward ranging from ₹5,000 to ₹10,000. While the amount is smaller than other schemes, it serves as a "Certificate of Excellence" from the Mahindra Group, which carries significant weight for future college applications. The selection is based on your board results followed by a brief interview at the regional Mahindra office.
