Pratibha Poshak talent search process for academic year 2023-24 has started. This year, we are planning to select students from seven education districts - Belagavi, Chikkodi, Dharwad, Bagalkot, Uttara Kannada, Gadag and Haveri. More than 60,000 8th grade students have written the National Means cum Merit Scholarship Examination (NMMS) conducted in Jan 2023 by the department of education. We shortlist about top 4% students and invite them for the Pratibha Poshak Selection Test, which will be conducted at various town centres across these districts.
