Apple Back to School Sale 2026 Offers in India

Apple’s education promo includes some of the latest offerings from the company, which include the MacBook Air M5, MacBook Pro M5 range, iPad Air (M4), iPad Pro, and the new MacBook Neo. In addition to being offered at lower prices, those who qualify for the offer will have the option to avail themselves of some premium accessories for free or at discounted rates.

The special offer is only applicable via the Education Store by Apple.

MacBook Air M5 Gets Student Discount and Free AirPods

One of the major highlights of the current year promotion includes the MacBook Air model running on the M5 chip of Apple. Within the scheme for education discounts, one is able to acquire the laptop starting from INR 1,37,900, which is relatively cheaper than the usual price of the product.

In order to further sweeten the offer, Apple will be offering free AirPods 4 or a bundle of four AirTags with certain MacBook Air products. Those who want enhanced audio can go for the option of AirPods 4 with ANC or the AirPods Pro 3 with the help of an upgrade price.

For those who are having online classes, editing videos, coding or other regular academic activities, the MacBook Air M5 will turn out to be an attractive purchase.

MacBook Pro M5 Series Also Included

However, Apple has included the education deals in their professional notebook range as well. For example, MacBook Pro M5 costs ₹2,27,900, and the price of MacBook Pro M5 Pro is ₹2,81,900. For those who seek the best performance, there is MacBook Pro M5 Max available for ₹4,62,900.

As in the case with MacBook Air, buyers of MacBook Pro will be able to get free AirPods 4 or AirTags as well. Moreover, there will be discounts on premium AirPods for MacBook Pro buyers. These deals have made Apple's most advanced laptops more appealing for students specializing in professional creative jobs, coding, engineering, or research.

iPad Air and iPad Pro Buyers Get Free Apple Pencil Pro

Apple is also making its latest iPads more appealing during the Back to School campaign. The iPad Air (M4) is available with education pricing starting at ₹83,900, while the iPad Pro begins at ₹1,27,900.

The biggest advantage for iPad buyers is the inclusion of a free Apple Pencil Pro, an accessory that significantly enhances note-taking, sketching, design work, and productivity. Customers who prefer different accessories can instead choose discounted AirPods or AirTags depending on their requirements.

For students in design, architecture, medicine, engineering, or digital art, this combination offers excellent value without requiring an additional purchase of Apple's premium stylus.

MacBook Neo Receives ₹10,000 Discount

The MacBook Neo, which Apple has newly launched, too forms a part of the education sale range. The 256 GB version is sold at ₹69,900 whereas the 512 GB variant can be purchased for ₹79,900.

The reduction in price offered by both the variants amounts to ₹10,000 less than the normal selling prices. Thus, the MacBook Neo becomes one of the least expensive methods to get into Apple’s world of laptops.

Free Accessories Add More Value

Beyond direct price reductions, Apple's complimentary accessories significantly increase the overall value of the purchase. Depending on the selected device, eligible customers can receive:

• Free AirPods 4

• Free Apple Pencil Pro

• Pack of four AirTags

• Discounted upgrade to AirPods 4 with ANC

• Discounted upgrade to AirPods Pro 3

These accessories can save buyers thousands of rupees while improving their overall Apple ecosystem experience for studying, entertainment, productivity, and creativity.

The Back to School promotion is available through Apple's Education Store for eligible customers, including:

• College and university students

• Teachers and educators

• Educational institution staff

• Parents purchasing devices on behalf of eligible students

Customers must satisfy Apple's education eligibility requirements to access the discounted pricing and promotional accessory offers. The campaign will continue until August 27, after which regular pricing will apply.

Apple's yearly Back to School Sale has always been one of Apple's most profitable promotional events, and the 2026 iteration follows suit. With education pricing, free accessories, and upgrade discounts, buyers will have the opportunity to save money on products compared to buying them at regular prices.
