Scholarship Exam Details

The Tata Capital Pankh Scholarship is a significant Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative by Tata Capital Limited. This program is specifically designed to support meritorious students from economically weaker sections (EWS) who are at risk of dropping out due to financial constraints. In 2026, the scholarship remains a beacon of hope for students from Class 11 up to undergraduate levels. The financial assistance is stratified: school students (Class 11-12) can receive up to ₹15,000, general undergraduate or diploma students receive up to ₹18,000, and those in professional degree programs (like Engineering or Medical) can receive a substantial grant of up to ₹1,00,000, covering up to 80% of their tuition fees. The primary philosophy behind "Pankh" (meaning wings) is to provide the necessary support for students to "fly" toward their career goals without being weighed down by debt. Selection is based on a "Merit-cum-Need" framework, where both academic excellence and the family's financial background are scrutinized
