How to get a Scholarship for GATE Coaching?

Home / GATE / GATE Scholarship

Getting a scholarship for GATE coaching can be a great help to students who are preparing for the GATE exam. The GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is a national-level examination conducted by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) for admission to postgraduate programs in engineering, technology, and architecture in various institutes across India. The GATE exam is considered one of the toughest entrance exams in India, and hence, it requires rigorous preparation.

One of the best ways to prepare for the GATE exam is by enrolling in a GATE coaching institute. However, the cost of GATE coaching can be high, and not all students can afford it. This is where scholarships for GATE coaching come into the picture. ACE Scholarship Test AST is one such exam that offers up to 70% Off on GATE & ESE Coaching. AST will be conducted 3 times a year.

ACE conducts the ACE Scholarship Test annually, offering a chance for students aspiring to take the GATE exam to secure financial aid. This test is especially beneficial for students who cannot afford the course fees, enabling them to prepare for competitive exams like GATE and ESE with waived fees. Over the past three years, the AST has helped a cluster of 1000+ need-based students, mostly from rural areas, to receive low-cost training for GATE and ESE. As a result, many of these students have gone on to secure placements in government organizations, IITs, NITs, and IISCs. ACE is proud to continue providing this opportunity and has selected another cohort of students for the AST Scholarships through the ACE Scholarship Test 2022. Please read the complete article for further details about the test.

The ACE Scholarship Test is an online national-level exam designed to provide students with an opportunity to receive up to 75% fee waiver on GATE & ESE courses. This exam, which is similar to other engineering competitive exams, evaluates the Aptitude and Engineering Mathematics knowledge of 2nd and 3rd-year students and assesses the technical knowledge of final-year students. The AST provides scholarships worth 3 crores.
