Role of scholarships in higher education
As per All India Survey of Higher Education (AISHE) 2015-16, the total enrollment in higher education is close to 34.6 million. The competition for a single student to get into a college of choice is getting tougher every day. An engineering aspirant sitting in JEE Main 2020 has to compete with over a million other competitors.
The scenario is similar for medical aspirants competing in NEET 2020. Whereas in other streams the figures are lower, but the competition in terms of number of test takers or admission seekers versus seats remains high.
A good example is university admissions, such as DU admission where students from across the country compete for fractions of marks to get a seat.
In such a scenario, scholarship exams such as ATSE play a vital role in the life of students. They give a platform for one to become a part of many to test their abilities and realize their true calling. In several cases, scholarship tests also encourage students to explore their untapped potential. Last but not the least, one can bravely choose the calling of choice, without worrying about the hole it would burn in their or their family’s pockets.
