The K. C. Mahindra Education Trust established MAHINDRA ALL INDIA TALENT SCHOLARSHIPS in 1995. The scheme envisages awarding scholarships to Indian students with good scholastic records belonging to lower income group families. They must have passed SSC or HSC or equivalent examinations and have secured admission in government or any other recognised Polytechnic Institute for Diploma Courses in India.
The scheme is to encourage and support young students to pursue job-oriented Diploma Courses at recognised Polytechnics. Under this scheme, scholarships of Rs. 5,000/- per annum are awarded to selected students to study at various polytechnics in India. The scholarship can be awarded to a student for a maximum of 3 years.
SSC and HSC examinations in various States in India are held during March-April. Results are normally announced during May-June every year.
