The CT Group of Institutions has announced a massive scholarship initiative worth Rs 60 crore for the 2025 academic session.
The Dr Manmohan Singh Scholarship is divided into two major components — Rs 40 crore allocated by CT University and an additional Rs 20 crore collectively offered by CT Group’s Shahpur and Maqsudan campuses. These scholarships aim to support students in achieving their educational aspirations in various disciplines.
The scholarship supports students enrolling in programmes such as law, engineering, management, pharmacy, hotel management and paramedical science. The selection is based on performance in the World Assessment Council (WAC) exam, an international evaluation headquartered in Boston, the US, that tests aptitude and subject knowledge.
Chancellor Charanjit Singh Channi emphasised the group’s mission to continue the legacy of the late Dr Manmohan Singh by empowering students to achieve their dreams. “This scholarship honours Dr Singh’s journey of perseverance and excellence, inspiring students to work hard and strive for academic and professional success,” he said.
He said Dr Manmohan Singh’s illustrious academic journey — from studying at Hindu College, Amritsar, to receiving a scholarship at the University of Cambridge, St John’s College — inspires this initiative.
The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
