Gateforum Scholarships
GIFT (GATEFORUM Incentive for Technical Education)
is an initiative from GATEFORUM, Indias leading
organization in the field of GATE training, to reward
budding engineers of India with a cash scholarship
program. The idea behind GIFT is to promote and
nurture interest in engineering among students and also
ensure that money is not a constraint for those with a
passion for engineering. We at GATEFORUM dream of
an India which is second to none in terms of innovation
and technological prowess a country in which
engineering is a passion among students, rather than
just a degree and GIFT is the first in a series of
initiatives planned as part of our contribution towards
making this dream a reality.
