Toppr conducted the city-level round of Toppr Fellowship Program in New Delhi. This year, over 200 schools from the city participated in the program. Nationally, the second edition of Toppr Fellowship Program saw around 7 lakh students participating from over 1400 schools. In Delhi, the scholarship test was conducted at Saraswati Bal Mandir, Lajpat Nagar.
Toppr Fellowship Program, which comprises Toppr Fellowship Test, Toppr Fellowship Seminar and Toppr Fellowship Counselling, is designed to help students of grades 5 to 12 understand their strengths and weaknesses, and show them a new engaging way to learn. Curated by top teachers of India, the Toppr Fellowship Test is a 30-minute test that identifies students' conceptual understanding, numerical abilities and problem-solving skills. Their performance is then evaluated and analyzed by subject experts.
Students who ace the Toppr Fellowship Test at the school-level and city-level will receive a Toppr scholarship worth Rs 50,000 and Rs 1,00,000 respectively; whereas national-level winners will get the golden chance to visit NASA with a guardian. All the participants will also be awarded with a 30% scholarship on Toppr. The city-level winners will be announced in March, and the national finale will be conducted in April.
Commenting on the initiative, Mr Zishaan Hayath, CEO, Toppr, said, "India has hundreds and thousands of academically gifted students, but they are not always recognized on a national level. The overarching idea behind Toppr Fellowship Program was to identify these extraordinary students and help them further their skills and abilities. This also helps students to view various career paths, based on their individual strengths, weaknesses, and interests."
