Cost should not decide
who gets taught.

Three routes to a fee waiver of up to 100% — a scholarship test anyone can sit, recognition of a score you already have, and need-based aid assessed privately. The test costs ₹200 and the paper decides the rest.

Three routes

More than one door

You do not have to sit a test to be considered. If you already hold a JEE Main or NEET score, that counts. If fees are the barrier regardless, say so.

Percentile-linked concessions

If you are joining the dropper batch with a score already in hand, this is the shorter path.

Need-based route

Assessed individually

The need-based scholarship exists for families where the standard fee — even after a merit waiver — remains a genuine barrier. Each application is reviewed individually, looking at family income, dependents and circumstances, rather than run through a fixed formula.

It can be applied on top of a ZEST or merit waiver in cases of demonstrated hardship.

All financial information shared with us is kept strictly private and used only for scholarship assessment. It is not visible to teaching staff and it plays no part in admission.

Common questions

Scholarships, answered

How much does the scholarship test cost?
₹200 to register. That is the only amount published anywhere on this site, and it is the whole cost of finding out what waiver you qualify for.
Can a student really get a 100% scholarship?
Yes. The waiver is tiered from 10% to 100% and is decided on the paper alone — not on the programme chosen, not on when you applied, and not on anything said in a conversation with us.
What if I have already taken JEE Main or NEET?
Then you do not need to sit another test. Submit the scorecard and the merit route applies percentile-linked slabs — up to 75%. This is the usual path into the dropper batch.
Is the scholarship test Faridabad students sit held online or at the centre?
Either. ZEST runs as an online computer-based test or offline at SCO 107, Sector 16. The paper and the scholarship slabs are identical; pick whichever is easier to get to.
What happens if fees are still a barrier after a waiver?
Say so. The need-based route is reviewed individually by management, can be applied on top of a ZEST or merit waiver, and everything shared is confidential and used only for that assessment.

The paper decides, not the invoice

Registration for ZEST is ₹200. What it can remove is up to 100% of the fee.
