Students mainly receive a Mtech stipend per month of Rs 12,400 under the AICTE GATE scholarship scheme. However, AICTE has proposed a 50% increase from the current stipend amount to the Ministry of Education, aiming to address declining enrollment in the MTech programme. Hence, the MTech stipend hike is likely under consideration in India. A 50% hike in the current stipend will increase the current amount from Rs 12,400 to Rs 18,600 per month.
