The Helix Scholarship cum Admission Test (HSAT) aims to recognize and reward the capability, talent, and potential of students who are in the process of choosing Medical or Non-Medical streams for their further studies. This test not only provides an opportunity for young talent to earn scholarships for Helix courses but also helps them identify their areas of weakness and strength. Over the years, Helix has been identifying and nurturing young minds, helping them achieve desired results in various competitive examinations for Medical as well as Non-Medical fields.
