AONSAT 2026 by Amity Online Emerges as India’s Largest Online Scholarship Admission Test

New Delhi, May 20 : Amity University Online, India’s first and leading online university, has successfully concluded the first edition of the Amity Online National Scholarship Aptitude Test (AONSAT) 2026, which has emerged as India’s largest online scholarship admission test for online degree programs initiated by any university. The nationwide initiative witnessed an overwhelming response from aspiring undergraduate and postgraduate learners seeking flexible, accessible, and merit-driven higher education opportunities.

AONSAT 2026 witnessed participation from learners across India – from Andaman & Nicobar Islands to Tripura, from Ludhiana to Kochi – showcasing the truly national reach of online higher education. The test recorded registrations from over 495 cities including metropolitan cities, Tier 2 & Tier 3 cities, and upcountry regions. Thousands of learners have successfully qualified through the test and have already begun their practice preparation, further reflecting the increasing acceptance and aspiration towards online higher education among India’s youth.

The inaugural edition of AONSAT recognized and rewarded academic excellence at a national scale, with 12 outstanding winners across undergraduate and postgraduate categories receiving merit-based scholarships. The winners represent a diverse mix of learners from different educational, cultural, and regional backgrounds across India, further reinforcing the growing inclusivity, accessibility, and nationwide reach of digitally enabled higher education. Through its merit-led scholarship framework, AONSAT aims to make quality higher education more accessible and create meaningful opportunities for aspiring learners across the country.

Abhishek Kushwaha, PG Topper & 100% Scholarship Recipient, said,

 “AONSAT has created an incredible opportunity for learners like me who aspire to pursue quality higher education from a reputed institution. Winning a 100% scholarship from Amity University Online has strengthened my confidence and given me a strong foundation to pursue my professional goals.”

Speaking on the overwhelming response, Mr. Ajit Chauhan, Chairman, Amity University Online, said:

“AONSAT 2026 reflects the evolving aspirations of India’s youth, who are increasingly seeking flexible, future-ready, and globally relevant higher education opportunities. At Amity University Online, we believe that quality education should not be limited by geography or financial barriers. Through initiatives like AONSAT, we are creating a transparent and merit-driven ecosystem that empowers learners and contributes towards building a stronger knowledge economy for the nation. As India moves towards the vision of Viksit Bharat, online education will play a transformative role in expanding access, nurturing talent at scale, and positioning India as a global education hub for the future. Such initiatives will also play an important role in supporting India’s National Education Policy vision of achieving a 50% Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education by 2035.” 

Raushan Kumar, UG Topper & 100% Scholarship Recipient, Said,

 “For many students like me, quality higher education from a reputed university often feels like a distant dream. AONSAT has changed that by creating a platform where talent and dedication are truly recognized. Receiving a 100% scholarship from Amity University Online has given me the confidence to pursue my goals with a larger vision and prepare myself for opportunities in a globally connected world. I believe initiatives like AONSAT can inspire and empower thousands of young learners across India to aspire for world-class education and a better future.”

India is currently at a crucial stage in its journey to expand access to higher education, with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aiming to increase the Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) from the current 28% to 50% by 2035. Scalable and digitally enabled initiatives like AONSAT can play a transformative role by expanding access and identifying deserving learners on a large scale. Industry and policy reports indicate that India may require nearly 86 million higher education enrolments by 2035 to meet this vision, making scalable digital learning models and scholarship-led initiatives increasingly important for the future of education.

Building on the tremendous response to the inaugural edition, Amity University Online has announced that the second edition of AONSAT will be announced soon, further strengthening its mission to make quality higher education more accessible, affordable, and inclusive for learners across India.

The initiative reflects Amity University Online’s larger vision of enabling education without boundaries through technology-enabled learning models, scholarship support, and scalable digital education platforms. As India moves towards a knowledge-driven economy, initiatives such as AONSAT are expected to play an important role in increasing educational participation, creating awareness around online higher education, and enabling social mobility at scale.

Histria Books Signs Former US Navy Commander Ron Terrell for Debut Thriller Book

Yemen-set political thriller draws on author’s years of US Navy service in the Middle East; publication scheduled for spring 2027 under the Histria Fiction imprint.

NEW YORK — Histria Books, an independent US publisher distributed by Simon & Schuster, has signed former US Navy Commander Ron Terrell for his debut novel, The Last Cocktail in Yemen. The book is the first installment in a planned trilogy and will publish in spring 2027 under the Histria Fiction imprint.

Set in Yemen during the rise of the Houthi movement, the novel follows Jack Marshall, a US Navy officer stationed in Sana’a, and Nur al-Sayed, an Egyptian journalist, whose relationship unfolds amid political turmoil and personal danger. Terrell draws on years of firsthand experience in Yemen and the Middle East region.

 “Ron Terrell brings to the thriller shelf what most novelists have to research from a distance: actual experience on the ground in the country the book is set in. That shows on every page.” — Dr. Kurt Brackob, Director, Histria Books

A Foreign Area Officer specializing in the Middle East and Arabic language, Terrell retired from the Navy at the rank of commander. Originally trained as a civil engineer at Purdue University, he later earned a master’s degree in security studies from the US Naval War College, pursued advanced Middle East regional studies at the US Naval Postgraduate School, and studied Arabic at the Defense Language Institute.

He served across the Middle East, including an assignment with US Naval Forces Central Command, where he led maritime engagement with Yemeni and Omani naval forces. He lived in Bahrain during the Arab Spring and traveled frequently to Yemen during the rise of the Houthi movement, working alongside local naval forces and, at times, US special forces.

“I wanted to write the Yemen I knew, not the Yemen of the headlines. Everything Jack and Nur live through was inspired by something I saw or someone I met.”

— Ron Terrell

Now living in Puerto Rico, Terrell spends his time writing, diving, and enjoying family and coastal life. He is currently writing the second volume of the trilogy.

Firehouse Communications & Partners is the originating agency and publicist for Ron Terrell and The Last Cocktail in Yemen.

The Golem’s Holocaust by Scott Eveloff, now available from Histria Books

The Golem’s Holocaust by Scott Eveloff now available from Histria Books

Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of The Golem’s Holocaust by Scott Eveloff. This novel is published by Histria Fiction, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding original works of fiction.

In The Golem’s Holocaust, Scott Eveloff merges the brutal reality of Nazi-occupied Europe with ancient Jewish mysticism. The novel follows Shayna, a young Jewish girl, and Emet, a mythical Golem summoned to protect his people from destruction.

What makes this approach stand out is how it reimagines history not just as a record of endurance, but as a site of supernatural defiance. Instead of focusing purely on tragedy, Eveloff gives physical form to cultural resilience and the desire for vengeance. Bringing folklore to life against the backdrop of the Holocaust shifts the lens away from victimhood and toward raw, mythical agency. The book asks difficult questions about survival, justice, and the moral weight of fighting back against absolute evil. Readers looking for historical fiction that takes bold risks will find a fresh, visceral exploration of collective trauma and the enduring power of myth.

Scott Eveloff MD is a retired pulmonary physician with thirty years of clinical experience and past appearances on The Dr. Oz Show, ABC’s 20/20, and Inside Edition. His writing is fueled by a fascination with historical mysteries, the supernatural, and a lifelong dedication to uplifting the disadvantaged. Now spending his retirement “resuscitating plot lines instead of patients,” Dr. Eveloff enjoys traveling with his wife and writes in enduring memory of his late son, Andrew, whose boundless enthusiasm continues to inspire his characters.

The Golem’s Holocaust by Scott Eveloff, 264 pp., ISBN 978-1-59211-722-2, is available at HistriaBooks.com and from all major book retailers. This title is also available as an ebook. Titles published under the imprints of Histria Books are distributed in the United States and Canada by Simon & Schuster and in the rest of the world through Unified Book Distribution.
