MREI to Award ₹3.5 Crore Scholarship to Meritorious Students

Faridabad : Manav Rachna Educational Institutions has launched a 100% scholarship scheme for meritorious students in its 30th year of establishment. Under this scheme, ₹3.5 crore will be provided as scholarships to 30 highly talented Class XII young minds entire duration of their eligible undergraduate degree at Manav Rachna University.
The pathway to Founders’ 30 is through the ET Education India School AI Challenge (ISAC). Students will register for the challenge, participate in AI masterclasses, build and submit a project, and shortlisted students will be invited for a personal interaction.

Though the scholars are being selected through an AI challenge, the scholarship is not limited to just AI or Computer Science programs. Scholars may pursue eligible undergraduate programmes across a wide range of disciplines at Manav Rachna University, subject to programme-specific eligibility and admission requirements.
The selection process will consider parameters including curiosity, problem-solving ability, initiative, presentation and academic readiness. There will be no separate scholarship examination and no additional project required specifically for Founders’ 30 other than participation in the India School AI Challenge 2026, an AI challenge open to all students in North India. With the initiative, Manav Rachna is turning its 30-year milestone into an investment in the next generation.

   

The 100% scholarship is only the starting point. Founders’ 30 scholars will become part of a distinctive cohort with access to mentorship, industry and alumni interactions, research and innovation opportunities, leadership exposure, career guidance and a network designed to support their growth well beyond the classroom.”
– Sanya Bhalla, Chief Growth Officer, Manav Rachna Educational Institutions.

“Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a foundational capability across disciplines. Through ISAC, students get an opportunity to demonstrate how they think, solve, build and create with AI. Founders’ 30 takes that journey further by enabling promising young minds to pursue the undergraduate discipline that best aligns with their aspirations.”
-Dr. Amit Bhalla, Vice President, Manav Rachna Educational Institutions.

“Thirty years ago, our Founder Visionary, Dr. O. P. Bhalla, began this journey with the belief that education should create not only successful professionals, but responsible citizens and better human beings. Founders’ 30 is our way of carrying that vision forward by investing in 30 young lives whose journeys are just beginning.”
-Dr. Prashant Bhalla, President, Manav Rachna Educational Institutions.
