Aakash offers admission to students for Foundation Courses (for class 8th, 9th and 10th) with applicable concession. To avail this concession, students must participate in the Aakash Admission-cum-Scholarship Test (ACST) organized at its branches and franchise centres.

It offers admission to those students also, who could not perform well in their board exams due to some reason and thus want another chance to showcase their potential. For such students, we have a provision of an admission test, where we test the basic knowledge of the student. The syllabus of the admission test is different for various courses and can be obtained from the information desk at the applying centre.

The admission test also gives an opportunity to the students to perform higher and get scholarship also. A student, who has qualified our direct admission criteria, can also sit for ACST and get him / her scholarship.

A student can appear up to two times in ACST for seeking admission in a particular course.

If a student has taken direct admission and paid registration fee, admission fee and 1st installment of the tuition fee, then he/she cannot appear in ACST to avail any scholarship benefit.
