The felicitation ceremony of the Pranab Mukherjee Scholarship Examination (PMSE-25) was held on 14 March 2026 at the auditorium hall (ground floor) of Techno India University. Organised by Techno India Group, the event honoured 245 meritorious students selected from 23 districts of West Bengal.
This statewide online scholarship examination was conducted on 6 December 2025, and the results were declared on 16 December 2025. More than 10,000 students from 23 districts participated this year, making it one of the largest online scholarship examinations in the state.
\Distinguished guests present at the event included Prof. Manosi Roychowdhury, Co-Chairperson of Techno India Group and Co-Chancellor of Techno India University; Dr. Chiranjib Bhattacharya, Vice-Chancellor of Jadavpur University and former President of the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education; Prof. Subrata Ghosh, Secretary of the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education; Meghdut Roychowdhury, Executive Director and Chief Innovation Officer of Techno India Group; Dr. Tapas Mukherjee, Director of Techno India Group; and Prof. Dr. Sujoy Biswas, Director and CEO of Techno India University and Techno India Group.
Welcoming the gathering, Tapas Mukherjee said, “Warmly welcoming all candidates to the Pranab Mukherjee Scholarship Examination, I congratulate students from Malda, Darjeeling, Uttar Dinajpur, and across West Bengal, and extend my sincere gratitude to the teachers, scholars, and parents for their support and presence.”
Addressing the students, Prof. Manosi Roychowdhury highlighted the importance of values and compassion, stating, “Empathy and compassion mean helping others selflessly, even at the cost of personal gain. True growth lies in uplifting others with integrity, while cherishing school days and friendships that shape lifelong happiness. Wherever you go, give your best and enjoy the journey.”
Prof. Subrata Ghosh encouraged students to focus on growth beyond marks, remarking, “At the initial stage, the courage to move forward matters more than success or failure. Your rank does not define you—what truly matters is connection, communication, and shared learning. Education goes beyond academics, and every individual’s strength plays a role in collective growth.”
Motivating the students for their future journey, Dr. Chiranjib Bhattacharya said, “Follow your passion and choose the path you truly enjoy, as that is where you can excel the most. Do not let external pressures shape your decisions—prioritise what you love. As you step into higher education, move forward with confidence and never compromise on your dreams. Best wishes to all of you.”
Students from both the Secondary and Higher Secondary categories were honoured during the ceremony.
In the Secondary category, Nazrin Sultana (89%) from Begunbari High School (H.S.) secured the first position, followed by Spandan Mitra (87%) from B.K.T.P.P. Prabir Sengupta Vidyalaya in second place, and Nirjhar Goswami (86%) from Bankura Zilla School in third place.

The meritorious students were awarded Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals, along with laptops, certificates, and gift packs.
Top-performing students from each district were presented with gold medals and certificates. Additionally, the top 100 students from each district’s merit list were honoured with bronze medals and certificates. Scholarships offering 10% to 100% course fee waivers were also provided to support deserving students, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder their pursuit of higher education.
By recognising talent at an early stage, the initiative reinforces the idea that success is not merely defined by marks but by perseverance, self-belief, and the willingness to keep learning. The PMSE platform encourages students to step beyond conventional boundaries and evaluate their own potential in a competitive yet supportive environment.
The Pranab Mukherjee Scholarship Examination is a significant educational initiative by Techno India Group, aimed at encouraging talented students across the state and motivating them to pursue higher education.
