Hello,

If your school is not conducting the NTSE exam, don’t worry — you can still attempt it. You can register directly through your state NTSE office as a private candidate. Check your state education department’s website for the exact procedure and deadlines. Some coaching institutes also assist students with registration and guidance. Make sure to complete registration on time and start preparing, as the exam tests both mental ability and scholastic knowledge.

Hope you understand.

You need to be enrolled in an approved ODL program. If not so, you are not eligible to take the exam. The school is the main channel through which you can take the NTSE exam. If your school is not approved or does not take NTSE exam then you have no option as a private or an independent candidate.

Hi! If a school does not provide the NTSE exam, students still have a way to appear for it. The Stage 1 exam is conducted by the State Education Board, and applications are usually submitted through schools. In such cases, students can approach the State Education Department to check if individual registration is allowed, or coordinate with nearby schools that are participating to submit their application through them. It is also important to carefully follow official NTSE notifications for any special provisions.
