NTSE

The National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) is a national-level talent search and scholarship programme in India, historically conducted by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). NTSE aims to identify and nurture talented students at the school level and award scholarships to support their education. The examination has traditionally been held in two stages – a state-level stage followed by a national-level stage – and assesses students through a Mental Ability Test and a Scholastic Aptitude Test covering science, mathematics and social science. As scheme details may change, candidates should refer to official communications.
