Agdahli Talent Search Examination (ATSE)
The Importance of Education and Agdahli’s Commitment to Nurturing Talent
Welcome to AGDAHLI Trust’s official platform for the Agdahli Talent Search Examination (ATSE) 2025. We are dedicated to empowering young students by promoting education as an essential tool for personal and social transformation. The ATSE is a distinguished initiative that identifies and nurtures talented students from across the Jangalmahal region, including both urban and remote rural areas.
This examination encourages academic excellence among students by offering award cash prizes to the top five students in each class at the central level. Additionally, prizes are given to the top three students from each class district-wise, as well as the highest scorer in each class from every examination center. Every student receives a mark sheet and a certificate of participation. Special gift prizes are also awarded to students who score 60% and above as recognition of their outstanding performance.
The exam is conducted based on the West Bengal Board syllabus, promoting textbook learning while also incorporating mental ability and general knowledge sections. This combination is designed to help students prepare not only for their school exams but also for various competitive examinations. Students answer multiple-choice questions (MCQs) using an OMR-based (Optical Mark Recognition) system, ensuring fair and transparent evaluation. The exam caters to students from classes III to IX, providing a well-rounded assessment experience.
Our goal is to bring forward bright minds from marginalized communities, giving them a platform to showcase their potential at regional, national, and global levels. Through ATSE, AGDAHLI strives to bridge educational gaps and build a brighter future for students who might otherwise remain unnoticed.
