Award of Merit Scholarship for Agricultural Engineering Students (B.Tech 3rd/4th Year) offers a monthly grant of ₹2,000 for one year to meritorious students in the third or fourth year of Agricultural Engineering. The Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar is inviting fresh applications for this award in 2026 for the current academic year.
The scheme runs under the Department of Agriculture, Government of Uttarakhand and is implemented by the university at Pantnagar. It is a state level cash benefit meant to encourage academic merit among B.Tech Agricultural Engineering students.
Award of Merit Scholarship for Agricultural Engineering Students
This scholarship supports students who are in the final stretch of their B.Tech Agricultural Engineering degree. The university calls for applications every academic year through an official notice on its student corner. In 2026, the notice asking students to apply for the award was issued by the university so that eligible third and fourth year students can submit their forms on time.
The whole idea is simple. A student who keeps up good academic performance in Agricultural Engineering gets a fixed monthly amount for one year to help with study costs. The amount is paid only for a single academic year, not for the full course.
