- Board: Students from CBSE, ICSE, and all State Boards are eligible. No specific board is required.

Every student who appears for ANTHE 2026 will receive an ANTHE Intelligence Report — not just toppers. This is a personalised performance analysis that includes four parameters:
- Competitive Exam Success Potential (CESP): Predicts your likelihood of clearing JEE or NEET based on your ANTHE performance.
- Test-Taking Personality (TTP): Identifies your exam-taking style — whether you are an aggressive, balanced, or conservative attempter.
- Attempt Intelligence Quotient (AIQ): Analyses how strategically you attempted the paper, including which questions you skipped and why.
- National Benchmarking: Compares your score against students from the same class across India, so you know where you actually stand.
ANTHE 2026 Merit List
The merit list ranks students class-wise and is published on the official ANTHE portal. Top rankers in each class (Classes 7 to 12) are featured on the website and contacted by Aakash for scholarship disbursement. Students who wish to claim cash prizes must join the applicable Aakash course before March 1, 2027. If you do not join by this deadline, you lose eligibility for the cash award even if you hold a qualifying rank.
ANTHE 2025 vs ANTHE 2026: Result Dates Comparison
| Classes | ANTHE 2025 Result Date | ANTHE 2026 Result (Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Classes 7, 8, 9, 10 | November 13, 2025 | Expected second week of November 2026 |
| Classes 5, 6, 11, 12 | November 16, 2025 | Expected mid-November 2026 |
ANTHE 2026 Scholarship and Cash Awards
The biggest attraction of ANTHE is the scholarship and cash prize structure. In the 2026 edition, Aakash is offering more than Rs 250 crore worth of scholarships and Rs 2.5 crore in cash prizes — the highest in ANTHE’s history across 16 editions.
Scholarship on Aakash Courses
| Exam Mode | Maximum Scholarship | Programme Covered |
|---|---|---|
| Offline Mode | Up to 100% on MRP | Classroom (RCC), Hybrid (Invictus), and Live Classes (ALC/AD) |
| Online Mode | Up to 80% on Tuition Fee | Digital Learning Programme (DLP) |
The actual scholarship slab depends on your All India Rank, your class, and the Aakash programme you choose to join. Within the offline mode, scholarship percentages are highest for the RCC (Regular Classroom Course) programme, followed by Invictus (Hybrid), ALC/AD (Aakash Live Classes), and DLP (Digital Learning Programme). Higher ranks get higher scholarship slabs.
Cash Prizes by Class and Rank
Cash prizes are awarded to students who rank within the top positions in their class. The eligibility window is wider for offline mode (rank-based) than for online mode (requires 95% score as well as a qualifying rank).
| Class | Eligible Ranks (Offline – RCC) | Eligible Ranks (Online) | Top Rank Cash Prize (Offline) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class V – VI | Top 25 | Top 25 | Up to Rs 20,000 |
| Class VII | Top 100 | Top 50 | Up to Rs 1,00,000 |
| Class VIII – IX | Top 150 | Top 75 | Up to Rs 1,00,000 |
| Class X | Top 200 | Top 100 | Up to Rs 2,50,000 |
| Class XI, XII, XII Passed | Top 100 | Top 50 | Up to Rs 1,00,000 |
Cash awards must be claimed by joining the applicable Aakash course before March 1, 2027. Students who do not join by this date will not be eligible for cash prizes, even if they hold a qualifying rank.
For online mode cash awards, students must score 95% or above (in addition to holding a qualifying rank). The cash prize is transferred directly and is separate from the scholarship on course fees. Both benefits can be availed simultaneously if you qualify.
ANTHE 2026 Exam Centres
ANTHE 2026 offline exams will be held at more than 500 exam centres across 400+ cities in India. These centres are Aakash’s own branches, so visiting the centre also gives you an opportunity to meet faculty and understand the course structure.
The online exam has no fixed centre. You can take it from home, your school, or any location with a stable internet connection, using a mobile phone, tablet, or computer. No additional setup is required.
How to Find Your ANTHE 2026 Exam Centre
- At the time of registration, you will select your preferred exam city from the available options.
- Aakash will assign you to the nearest centre in that city.
- The exact centre name and address will be printed on your admit card, released a few days before the exam.
- You can browse available cities and centres at anthe.aakash.ac.in/exam-centre.
ANTHE 2026 covers Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 cities, including representation from northeastern states and Jammu & Kashmir. For students in the Kashmir region, there is a dedicated variant called AKTHE (Aakash Kashmir Talent Hunt Exam) available at akthe.aakash.ac.in.
If you cannot find an exam centre in your city, the online mode is a good alternative — it is free, available from home, and covers the same syllabus and exam pattern as the offline version.
Why Appear for ANTHE 2026?
ANTHE is more than a scholarship test. It has several practical benefits for students at every stage — whether you are a Class 6 student just discovering science or a Class 12 student preparing for JEE or NEET.
- Free entry for online mode: The online exam has zero registration fee. Any student in Classes 5–12 can appear at no cost, from their own home.
- Substantial scholarships: Scholarships of up to 100% on Aakash classroom course fees can significantly reduce or eliminate coaching costs, which can otherwise be Rs 1–2 lakh per year.
- Cash prizes for top rankers: Top rankers across classes can earn cash prizes of up to Rs 2.5 lakh — money that can be used for study materials, books, or other educational expenses.
- Personalised ANTHE Intelligence Report: Every student who appears gets a detailed performance analysis — not just toppers. This national benchmarking helps you understand where you stand before you commit to JEE or NEET preparation.
- Strong JEE and NEET success track record: In 2026, 31 out of 41 Aakash students in the NEET UG Top 100 and 7 out of 11 in the JEE Advanced Top 100 had previously appeared for ANTHE. ANTHE students clearly benefit from early identification and targeted coaching.
- No negative marking, low stakes: There is no risk in attempting ANTHE. Wrong answers do not penalise you. It is a low-risk, high-reward opportunity.
- Practice material included: Registered students get 1 free sample paper and 4 mock tests at Rs 50 total — useful for self-assessment even if you do not plan to join Aakash.
Even if you are not considering Aakash coaching right now, the ANTHE Intelligence Report provides a useful national-level academic benchmarking. It gives you concrete data about your competitive exam readiness — something that is hard to get from school exams alone.
ANTHE 2026 Preparation Tips
ANTHE tests NCERT-level concepts and basic analytical ability. You do not need expensive study material or a coaching background to do well. Here are focused, class-wise tips.
For Foundation Students (Classes 5 to 9)
- NCERT textbook is your main resource: Most ANTHE questions for foundation classes come directly from NCERT concepts. Go through each chapter in your current class NCERT textbook thoroughly — understand the concept, do not just memorise it.
- Give Mental Ability its due time: Mental Ability carries 8 out of 40 questions — that is 20% of your paper. Practice number series, analogies, odd one out, and basic reasoning daily for 15–20 minutes. This section can quickly boost your rank if you prepare for it consistently.
- Use the official sample paper first: After registration, attempt the free sample paper provided by Aakash. It shows the actual difficulty level and question format of ANTHE, so you know exactly what to expect.
- Make short notes for Science: Keep a one-page summary per chapter with key definitions, processes, and diagrams. ANTHE Science questions often test specific terms and facts from NCERT text.
- Time yourself during practice: ANTHE gives you 60 minutes for 40 questions — that is 90 seconds per question. Practice under time pressure so you are comfortable on exam day.
For Senior Students (Classes 10 to 12)
- Focus only on the listed chapters: The ANTHE syllabus for senior classes is significantly narrower than JEE or NEET. Download the official syllabus from anthe.aakash.ac.in/syllabus and prepare only the chapters listed for your class. Do not waste time on topics that are not in scope.
- Concept-based, not calculation-heavy: ANTHE does not have long numerical problems like JEE Main or NEET. Questions test your understanding of a concept, not your ability to do multi-step arithmetic. Focus on why a concept works, not just how to solve it.
- Biology is the priority for Medical stream students: Biology carries 20 out of 40 questions for PCB students. Revise NCERT Biology diagrams, processes, and terminologies carefully. Chapters from both Class 11 and Class 12 NCERT are included.
- Attempt every question: With no negative marking, there is no reason to leave any question unanswered. Even if you are not sure, eliminate obviously wrong options and make an educated guess. In a 4-option MCQ, you have a 25% chance of getting it right.
- Complete all 4 mock tests: The 4 mock tests available on the portal (Rs 50 total) are your best preparation tool after the syllabus. Attempt all of them under timed conditions. After each mock, analyse which chapters need more revision.

Yes, you can give the Aakash ANTHE (Aakash National Talent Hunt Exam) online. Students can choose between online or offline modes during registration. The online exam can be taken from home using a computer or smartphone with a stable internet connection. Candidates must log in with their registered credentials on the official ANTHE website at the scheduled time to appear for the online test.
Most past ANTHE exams are held in October (like ANTHE 2025) or early the next year, so ANTHE 2027 is expected to follow a similar October 2026 (or early 2027) schedule once announced officially.
