Every year, many talented students in Haldwani and across Kumaon choose a coaching institute only on the basis of fees or a friend's advice. They never get a fair chance to show what they are capable of. The Future Forum Talent Support Examination (FTSE) was created to change that.

“Hidden talent is like a seed. It needs nurturing to flourish.”

In this article, we explain what FTSE is, who can take it, how the scholarship works and how you can register.

What is FTSE?

How to prepare for FTSE

Start with NCERT. The test is based on NCERT, so revise your textbook concepts first.
Understand, don't memorise. Questions test whether you understand an idea, not whether you have learnt a line by heart.
Practise reasoning (Class 8–10): 15 minutes of puzzles and series questions a day makes a big difference.
Practise in a time limit. Solve a few questions with a timer so that 60–90 minutes feels comfortable.
Don't panic. FTSE is also about knowing where you stand. Every student gets a roadmap, whatever the score.
