I think Ashoka University is great for Liberal arts in India. In terms of Faculty and residence for living its great. So for a High school student looking for good education Ashoka is something that clicked my mind immidiately. I had applied to Flames, and Jindal as option B for liberal arts.

Once your application is selected, you are sent a confirmation letter asking for the Ashoka aptitude test. If you have appeared for sat then you can escape this test. But it's a general test with questions of math's up to the 10th level, passage reading, and reasoning. Students can apply for financial aid if they need it....Read More
