Una, September 9
Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL), Una, on Wednesday launched the Aakash National Talent Hunt Exam (ANTHE) 2026, a national-level talent identification and assessment examination aimed at helping students understand their academic potential and prepare for competitive examinations.
With more than one crore students having registered for ANTHE since its inception, the examination has grown into one of India’s prominent and longest-running student assessment platforms. What began as a talent identification initiative has evolved into a structured academic benchmark, enabling students to assess their preparedness, identify their strengths and areas of improvement, and better understand their competitive potential.
ANTHE is designed as a scientifically structured diagnostic assessment, with questions mapped to specific concepts and competencies. It evaluates students across areas including subject knowledge, aptitude, analytical ability and examination skills, providing a broader picture of their academic preparedness.
Chandra Sekhar Garisa Reddy, MD and CEO, Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL), said, “ANTHE’s larger purpose is to help students understand their own academic potential at a stage when the right guidance can make a meaningful difference. We want every student to come away from ANTHE with greater clarity about their academic journey and a more informed path forward.”
Registrations for ANTHE 2026 are open through the official ANTHE portal and Aakash centres across the country. The online examination will be conducted from October 27 to November 1, 2026, while the offline examination will be held on October 11, October 25 and November 1, 2026.
