What is the
Khoj Program?
Khoj is an initiative by IIT Ashram that was started by our founder Prof. S R Mishra in 2008. It is a science aptitude test for students from Class V to X. Khoj was born with an intention to celebrate and support students in their studies at IIT Ashram, by offering them scholarships and cash prizes based on their merit. With this program the aim is to make sure that students realize their potential and build their aspiration in taking up high research oriented roles in the field of medical and engineering. Adding to this, the program also aims to motivate students to take up challenging research work and teaching assignments.
What are the Benefits of the Program?
The Khoj Program includes generous prizes, scholarships and merit certificates. The students of IIT Ashram appear for the Khoj exam once every year and their results decide the scholarship prizes they can avail. The selected students benefit in seeking a great financial support for their studies at IIT Ashram. The scholarship amount is directly applicable towards redeeming their coaching fees at our institute. Cash prizes of up to INR 4 crores are awarded to students depending on their results from each class. The Khoj exam also allows students to analyse their performance and reflect on their weaknesses as well as strengths. It is an opportunity that allows our IIT Ashram students to celebrate their abilities and be proud of their hard work.
