What Selected Students Receive
Students selected under Akanksha Yojana get structured coaching classes alongside accommodation and teaching support for the duration of their preparation. Consequently, the scheme removes two of the biggest barriers tribal students in remote areas face when preparing for competitive exams: access to quality coaching and affordable housing near a coaching hub. However, since seats are limited, students who do not clear the entrance test should still consider MPTAAS’s regular scholarship schemes to support their ongoing education elsewhere.
Preparing for the Akanksha Yojana Entrance Test
Since admission to Akanksha Yojana coaching centres is purely merit-based, preparing for the entrance test is just as important as meeting the basic eligibility criteria. The test typically evaluates Class 10-level concepts in mathematics and science for the engineering and medical streams, and reasoning or general aptitude for the law stream. Therefore, students should begin revising core Class 9 and 10 topics well before the announced test date rather than waiting for a formal syllabus release, since competition for the limited 200 seats per centre is high across the state.
It is also worth noting that selection under Akanksha Yojana does not affect your eligibility for the regular MPTAAS scholarship. Students who are not selected for coaching, or who complete the coaching program and move into their chosen degree course, should still apply for the standard post-matric scholarship to continue receiving fee and maintenance support throughout their education.
