Who is eligible for the Udaan Scholarship?
Eligibility is open to any student currently studying in **Class 9, 10, 11, 12, or 12th Pass / Droppers (JEE, NEET, CUET Aspirants)** in India. This applies to all national and state education boards, including CBSE, ICSE, State Boards, and NIOS. There are no minimum family income limits, and students from all streams (Science, Commerce, Arts, Competitive Prep) are eligible to participate.
How does the selection process and online proctoring work?
The entire examination is conducted online on our proctored exam portal. To prevent cheating, our intermediate proctoring system monitors front camera feed, orientation, browser focus loss, and counts tab-switching actions. If a student attempts to open multiple tabs, exit full-screen mode, or log in from another device, warning flags are recorded. Multiple warnings will lead to automated disqualification.
What is the exam syllabus and MCQ structure?
The exam consists of **100 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)** to be answered in **90 minutes**. Questions are randomized across candidates to maintain integrity. The syllabus covers:
- Mental Ability (30%): Logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and analytical thinking.
