Jagran Josh Conclave & Awards 2026: All You Need To Know

The Jagran Josh Education Conclave & Awards 2026 is an initiative by the Dainik Jagran Media Group to celebrate excellence in innovation and leadership in the education ecosystem of India. 

As India’s leading education and employment portal, Jagran Josh provides the latest exam updates, career guidance, current affairs, and government and private job updates to millions of students, job seekers, and educational institutions across the country.

The Jagran Josh Award is a platform that recognises the contributions of individuals and organisations in the education sector and brings together bureaucrats, policymakers, academic leaders, educational institutes, innovators, and educators under one roof. This also allows the attendees of the session to explore strong networking opportunities.

From 2021 to 2025, every edition of the Jagran Josh Education Awards reflects the ever-growing landscape of the education sector in India. During the first season in 2021, the focus was on honouring the resilience and innovation during the pandemic-led lockdown. The focus of the second season in 2022 was on classroom transformation and hybrid learning. In 2023, the third season honoured the “Best of the Best” in education. In 2024, the fourth season emphasised NEP 2020, AI integration, and institutional excellence. The theme of the last season in 2025 was EduFuture 5.0: Innovation, Inclusion and Impact, which brought together industry and academia experts to have insightful conversations about technology-driven learning and the future of education. This five-year journey of the education awards by Jagran Josh has solidified the platform’s status for identifying excellence in the education landscape. 

This year, Jagran Josh is hosting the sixth season of the Education Conclave & Awards, supported by the Government of Uttar Pradesh, and the theme is “Entrepreneurship & Innovation”. The focus of this edition is on identifying and nurturing not just learners, but creators, problem-solvers, and future leaders. 

The aim of the conclave is to:

• Encourage early entrepreneurial thinking

• Recognise real-world problem-solving skills

• Provide a platform for innovators to showcase their ideas

• Bridge the gap between education and practical application

The conclave is a premier platform uniting educational institutes, students, educators, and industry leaders. The registrations for this season are open, and you can submit your nomination by clicking here.
