Hello aspirant !!

A straightforward answer to your question would be YES. In fact, every year, students score really well and get shortlisted for the scholarship.

Now, the more important part would be how to go about achieving this?

The most important thing you need to keep in mind is that NTSE basically targets the syllabus till 10th standard .

You need to be efficient at solving mental ability questions as these constitute an entire 100 marks paper. Focus on speed as well as accuracy. Command topics in both verbal as well as non verbal reasoning. Learn structured approaches for cubes and dice, syllogism, deducing conclusions, folding and punching problems etc. as these require imagination and can be time-taking as well as misleading unless practised well.

The other game-changer is Social Science. Be thorough with the content. This is the most scoring and least time-consuming part if you are equipped with the facts.

For stage-I, go through the syllabus of your state board . You might face problems if you are from CBSE board and there are some additional topics covered by your state. Master them beforehand.

For stage-II, have thorough knowledge of NCERT . The paper generally tests the applications of concepts covered in NCERT. You need to be informed about every nook and corner of the books!

Keep practicing good questions along with learning theory.

When that's done, all you need is proper revision. Attempt mock tests and check out previous years' papers. Work on time management as you get relatively lesser time per question here.

At the end, do not panic in any circumstance. It is not at all difficult if you are consistent.

All the best !!

Hi aspirant, the National Talent Search Examination is one of the hardest school level scholarship exams that India's education system has up its sleeve. The exam recognizes the talent of deserving students, from a pool of millions, takes some doing, and this is what makes the NTSE so challenging.

Also dear the student who have the power of knowledge, wisdom, dedication, patience and hard work can easily crack not only NTSE but any exam.

Thank You.
