National Talent Search Examination Looks for Young Talent


The National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) is an initiative by the NCERT that attempts to identify talented students and assist in nurturing their capabilities. Exceptionally abled students in the field of science, commerce, law, and social studies chosen through NTSE are provided financial assistance in the form of a monthly scholarship to enable them to pursue a degree of their choice.

Every year, 1000 students are selected to receive a fixed amount of scholarship from the government of India. Here’s the monthly amount for every class/course:
  • Class XI-XII: Rs.1250
  • Undergraduates/Postgraduates: Rs.2000
  • Ph.D: To be fixed according to UGC guidelines.

Pattern of exam

The NTSE is a written exam which is considered one of the most difficult and prestigious tests held in the nation. There are two stages – stage I and stage II – that have to be cleared to be a recipient of the scholarship. Stage I is held by the state/UT under which the candidate’s school falls. Those who clear stage I have to give another exam, which is stage II conducted by the NCERT.

Who can apply?

Class X students of a registered school can apply for stage I of NTSE. It is open to all students of Indian nationality irrespective of domicile. Indian students living abroad can directly apply for stage II.

The last date of submission of application for stage I is usually around August of every year and the exam is held around November. The second stage exam will be held around May the year after that.

How to apply?

You can download the application form from the NCERT website. There is a nominal fee for stage I exam that will be prescribed by the respective states/UTs ; however, the stage II exam is free.

There are reservations for SC/ST and physically challenged students as per NCERT guidelines. For more details, you can click here.
