Hello Meera,
The National Talent Research Exam (NTSE) is a scholarship program which is done to identify and nurture the talent in the students who are in the school level and who appear for NTSE. NTSE honors the talented students by helping them with financial assistance for their entire academic careers. A lot of students are there who cannot continue with their studies due to financial distress. NTSE scholarships also help needy students to commence their studies by providing essential financial help to them. Here are the top NTSE books that are must for every aspirant.

NTSE Books for Every Aspirant:

The selection process of NTSE is spread into two stages. Stage 1 of NTSE is a state level examination where the selection is done by the states and Union Territories through written exams. Students clearing the Stage 1 will be eligible to appear for NTSE stage 2 examination, which is a national selection process, conducted by the NCERT whose details are updated on the NCERT website. Also, find out about the eligibility criteria for the NTSE exam.

NCERT consists of two sections  Mental Aptitude Test (MAT) and Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) for each stage is as follows:

Sections

50 Questions / 45 min.

Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)

Preparation for the NTSE exams highly depends on a students ability to grasp the conceptual knowledge he/she has learnt till class 10th. One of the most vital aspects of preparing for the NTSE examination is to develop analytical thinking. This is an auto evolving process where the students mind will develop logical reasoning with the knowledge learnt, developed concepts, and fundamentals absorbed brought together.

However, subjects like mathematics, social science, science, history, geography, etc. require specific in-depth knowledge about the topics covered. The best way to grasp the aspects of a subject is to follow the various NTSE books on the subjects. These cover the topics with detailed analyses and facts. Going through these NTSE books ensures students proper and systematic learning and helps them become an NTSE scholar.
