What is a scholarship test for JEE/NEET?

A scholarship test for JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) and NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) is a competitive exam organized by various educational institutes to identify and reward talented students aspiring for engineering and medical careers. These tests help institutes discover high-performing students and provide them with financial aid in the form of scholarships, fee waivers, or discounts for their JEE or NEET preparation courses. Scholarship tests typically evaluate a student's understanding of critical subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics based on their respective exams.

The main aim of these tests is to ease the financial burden on meritorious students by providing scholarships that significantly reduce tuition fees. Furthermore, scholarship tests also serve as practice exams, preparing students for the rigorous competitive environment of national-level exams like JEE Main, JEE Advanced, and NEET. These exams are a great way to benchmark one's performance against peers and identify areas needing improvement.

Institutes usually offer scholarship tests at various intervals throughout the year, and students from different classes, usually Class 10 to Class 12, as well as dropper students, are eligible to participate. Depending on their performance, students may receive partial to full scholarships.
