About the test
What is ASCAT?
Alpha Scholarship-cum-Admission Test
ASCAT is Alpha Academy's scholarship-cum-admission test for students moving into Classes 9, 10, 11 and 12. It does two jobs at once: it helps us place each student in the batch that suits them, and it rewards strong preparation with a merit scholarship on tuition.
The paper is based on the syllabus of the class the student is currently studying in. There is no negative marking, and every student receives a detailed scorecard showing strengths and areas to work on — useful whether or not they join Alpha.
