Samsung’s Back to School campaign in India extends student savings beyond phones, covering laptops, tablets and a monitor with discounts of up to 10 percent. The offer also includes additional discounts for selected Galaxy S26 models, bank benefits and interest-free instalment options.
The campaign is designed around different purchasing routes rather than one universal discount. Students must verify their education status before accessing the offers through Samsung’s Student+ Programme.

1. Galaxy Book 6 Pro
The Galaxy Book 6 Pro is among the computing products receiving a student discount of up to 10 percent. Buyers using an HDFC Bank debit or credit card can also receive benefits of up to Rs. 5,000.
Its stated effective price is Rs. 1,73,990 after the applicable bank benefit. The final benefit depends on whether the selected payment method meets the campaign terms.
2. Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra
Samsung is applying the same broad student-discount ceiling of up to 10 percent to the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. The tablet can also receive up to Rs. 5,000 in benefits through eligible HDFC Bank debit or credit cards.
The effective price listed for the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is Rs. 1,17,999. This places the tablet among the central education-focused products in the campaign.
3. Smart Monitor M8
The Smart Monitor M8 is included with a student discount of up to 10 percent. Eligible bank cards can add benefits of up to Rs. 3,000, reducing its stated effective price to Rs. 46,699.
The monitor shows that the campaign reaches beyond portable devices used directly in class. Samsung’s offer combines education verification with payment-related benefits on selected products.
4. Galaxy S26
The Galaxy S26 is available from Rs. 3,917 per month under the campaign. Students can receive an additional 7 percent discount from the purchase price of the handset.
Samsung has positioned the S26 series as a key flagship category in the promotion. The student discount is separate from the payment and financing benefits that may also be available.
5. Galaxy S26 Ultra
The Galaxy S26 Ultra starts from Rs. 5,958 per month and carries the same additional 7 percent student discount. It is also one of two models covered by the Galaxy Forever upgrade arrangement.
Under Galaxy Forever, customers can pay 50 percent of the device cost over 12 months with interest-free instalments through a credit card or Samsung Finance+. At the end of the first year, they may return the device for an upgrade under a 50 percent buyback guarantee.
6. Galaxy S26+
The Galaxy S26+ is the other handset included in Galaxy Forever. Customers can instead keep the phone by paying the remaining 50 percent of its cost in the 13th month.
The programme includes Samsung Care+ worth Rs. 13,999 for 13 months. The coverage includes accidental and liquid damage.
How students can access the offers
Students can register with an institutional email address or use UNiDAYS as an alternative verification route. Access to the education offers depends on successful status verification.
Gadgets360 reported that the campaign also lists the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Buds 4 series and selected Galaxy accessories. Buyers should check whether a benefit is a student discount, a bank offer, interest-free financing or a Galaxy Forever benefit before completing a purchase.
