The Exide Diksha Scholarship for Engineering Students is a dedicated education and talent development initiative designed to empower deserving engineering students through financial support and career advancement opportunities. Introduced for FY 2025–26, the program reflects a strong commitment to promoting technical education, nurturing future-ready engineering talent, and enabling students to pursue academic excellence without financial constraints. Under the initiative, scholarships amounting to INR 1,50,000 were provided to selected students to support their academic journey and reduce financial barriers to higher education.

During FY 2025–26, the scholarship program extended support to 18 engineering students across some of West Bengal’s premier engineering institutions. The initiative was implemented at Jadavpur University, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, and National Institute of Technology Durgapur, ensuring strong academic outreach and regional representation. Covering key educational hubs such as Kolkata, Shibpur, and Durgapur, the program contributed meaningfully to strengthening the state’s engineering education ecosystem while supporting the aspirations of young technical professionals.
