Marking 15 glorious years of its flagship scholarship examination ANTHE, Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL), the national leader in test preparatory services, proudly announces the launch of the latest edition of the highly anticipated Aakash National Talent Hunt Exam (ANTHE) 2024. With the launch of ANTHE 2024, the quest begins for the next visionaries in science and technology
Deepak Mehrotra, CEO and MD of Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL), remarked, “ANTHE has played a crucial role in bridging the gap between the aspirations and abilities of countless students. With ANTHE 2024, we are launching a national talent hunt to nurture future doctors and engineers and search for the next APJ Abdul Kalam, HG Khorana, MS Swaminathan and JC Bose who would do pioneering work and make India proud in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.”
Great scientists like Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, who advanced plant science; Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, the Father of India’s Green Revolution; Dr. Har Gobind Khorana, whose discoveries in biochemistry reshaped genetics; and Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, whose visionary work in aerospace and missile technology inspired a nation. Aakash strives to guide its students to achieve similar excellence with dedication and innovation. The popular and most-sought after exam offers students from Class VII-XII the chance to earn up to 100% scholarships along with significant cash awards, helping them achieve their dreams of a successful career in medicine or engineering.
