Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL) has launched ANTHE 2026, India’s long-running talent hunt examination designed to help students understand their academic potential and prepare for competitive examinations. With over 1 crore student registrations in 16 years, ANTHE uses scientifically designed assessments to evaluate subject knowledge, aptitude, analytical ability, competitive readiness and examination behaviour. Students can avail up to 100% scholarships and ₹2.5 crore in cash prizes, subject to applicable criteria.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Chandra Sekhar Garisa Reddy, MD and CEO, Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL), said, “ANTHE has never been just an examination that determines a student's scholarship.
