Aakash Launches ANTHE 2025 to Empower Future Problem Solvers

Lucknow : Celebrating 16 years of transforming student aspirations into success, Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL), a leader in test preparation, has proudly announced the launch of its flagship initiative, ANTHE 2025 (Aakash National Talent Hunt Exam). This annual, highly-anticipated event in India's academic calendar is designed to motivate and empower students from Class 5 to 12 to become problem-solvers and face challenges head-on.

The launch, held at Aakash's Hazratganj branch, was graced by key officials including D.K. Mishra, Regional Director; Randhir Singh, State Head; B.L. Prasad and Rajan Singh, Assistant Directors; Amit Awasthi, Regional Sales & Growth Head; and Arun Sharma, Branch Head.

ANTHE 2025 aims to democratize quality education by offering scholarships worth up to ₹250 crore (up to 100% scholarship), applicable for Classroom, Aakash Digital, and Invictus courses. The exam also provides cash awards of up to ₹2.5 crore, which will be a significant boost for students aspiring for successful careers in medicine or engineering. This opportunity opens doors for students to receive expert-led coaching for competitive exams like NEET, JEE, State CETs, NTSE, and Olympiads.

Further strengthening its commitment, Aakash has also launched the Invictus Ace Test—a scholarship exam for students in Class 8 to 12. This test is designed for admission into the Aakash Invictus JEE Advanced Preparation Program. The national-level eligibility-cum-scholarship test will be held on August 24, August 31, and September 7, 2025. The three-hour exam (10 a.m. to 1 p.m.) is available in both online and offline modes, with an application fee of ₹300. Top performers will receive scholarships of up to 100% and attractive cash prizes.
