Four steps, and you can
stop after any of them.
Admission at Zigyan runs through one test that decides both the seat and the fee concession. Before that there is a conversation, and after it there is another — we would rather you chose us knowing exactly what you are paying and why.

From first call to first day
Nothing here commits you to anything until the last step, and each stage gives you information you did not have before it.
Talk to us
No commitmentCall, or leave your number and we will call you. We will ask what your child is preparing for, where they are struggling, and which batch would actually suit them. If the honest answer is that the online programme fits your week better than the classroom, or that you should wait a year, that is what you will be told.
You can stop here. Plenty of families do, and the advice was still free.Sit the scholarship cum admission test
₹200One paper decides both things — whether there is a seat and what the fee concession is, which runs up to 100%. It is set on your current class's syllabus and rewards understanding rather than recall, so there is nothing to cram. Sample papers and the syllabus are published free, and you can sit it online or at the centre.
You can stop here. The result and the offer are yours either way.Go through the paper together
CounsellingWe sit with the result rather than posting it — what was strong, what was weak, and which programme that points at. You will see the exact fee after concession before deciding anything, and you will get a straight answer about how hard the year will be from where your child currently is.
You can stop here. Knowing the number is the point of this step.Complete the formalities and start
Day oneStudy material and daily practice problems are distributed through the year, alongside the topics as they are taught, rather than handed over in one stack at the start. Your child's teachers are the ones named on the faculty page, and they stay with the batch rather than rotating through it.
This is the only step that commits you.Because until the paper is marked, nobody knows what it is. The concession is decided on the score alone, so quoting a figure before the test would be quoting one we might be about to reduce. You will have the exact number in hand before you decide, and it will not change afterwards.
You may not need the test at all
Students joining the dropper batch usually arrive with a JEE Main or NEET score already in hand. That counts — submit the scorecard and percentile-linked slabs apply up to 75%, with no second paper to sit.
And if the fee remains a genuine barrier after any concession, say so. Need-based aid is assessed individually by management, can be applied on top of a merit or ZEST waiver, and everything shared stays confidential.
Which route applies to you, what documents each needs and how long each takes is set out on the scholarship application page. This page is about whether to join; that one is about claiming the concession once you have decided to.
What we will ask you
Which class your child is entering, which school they are at, and what they are aiming for — and if the answer to the last one is “not sure yet”, that is a normal answer in Class IX and X, and a common one in Class XI. Most students keep JEE and NEET open for a year and commit on the evidence of their test data rather than on a preference stated in June.
We will also ask where you are travelling from, because it changes the honest recommendation. From Ballabhgarh or Greater Faridabad the online programme is often the better answer for Class IX and X, and we would rather tell you that before you enrol than watch a family abandon a classroom seat in November.
Admissions, answered
Is there an admission fee separate from the test?
Can my child join partway through the year?
Do I need to decide between JEE and NEET before applying?
What if the batch is full?
How soon can we start after the test?
Start with the conversation
It costs nothing, commits you to nothing, and you will know more about your child's options at the end of it than at the start.
