The IEEE, and the Power & Energy Society (PES) of IEEE, India, instituted the annual IEEE PES India Scholarship Award (IPISA ) to encourage students to pursue the Electrical engineering and technology profession. In order to attract talented and meritorious students, the IPISA scholarship will be given on merit-based selection criteria, with significant weightage to toppers of the pre-engineering qualifying examination.

• To attract the best talent and meritorious students to the electrical engineering stream by extending the scholarship to toppers in the pre-engineering qualifying examination.
• To give adequate opportunities to the selected students to do their internship in the core engineering companies and create an interest, so that the top ranked students graduating from the engineering colleges will opt for job opportunities in the core engineering companies.
• To give the required exposure to the selected students by giving opportunities to participate in seminars, workshops, and conferences organized by the IEEE.
