No, you are not allowed to appear for NTSE when you are in Class 9; this exam is meant for students currently studying in Class 10.
So just hang tight, and if you are in Class 10, then you will be eligible to apply. You can start preparation if you mean it seriously. It's a competitive examination worth attempting.
Good luck for your future endeavours!

Yes, you can sit for the National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) if you are studying in Class 9. The NTSE is held in two stages. Stage 1 is generally taken by Class 10 students, though some states allow Class 9 students to take the examination to gain experience and practice.
But it is available only for those in Class 10. One should refer to the detailed guidelines provided by the respective state education department or at the official NTSE website regarding eligibility criteria and other state-wise details.

Yes, the CGBSE syllabus covers many important topics useful for competitive exams. Subjects like Science and Maths form the base for exams like NTSE and various Olympiads. However, you may need to study additional concepts or higher-level problems for such exams. It's good to start early and use reference books if you're planning to appear in these exams. A strong understanding of the 10th syllabus will give you a good foundation.
First, you gotta be a Class 10 student and crack both Stage 1 (state) and Stage 2 (national) exams. After that, keep your marks up (60%+ yearly) and stay enrolled in legit courses like Science or Social Science. The scholarship starts from Class 11 and can last till your postgrad. Apply via your school or state portal. And yeah, don't forget to attach your docs!
NTSE NCERT temporarily discontinued the scheme and no official NTSE exam was conducted in 2024 at all levels (including Hyderabad) by NCERT. A certain examination date of some states was tentative or delayed. But there were debates and chances that the plan would restart in 2025 and may still serve students who have missed out. It is also important to check the updated and correct information available through an official NCERT site on the condition of the scheme of NTSE.
The Future of National Talent Search Examination The exam was not conducted during 2022-2024. But with the new news, the NTSE 2025 notification release date of Stage 1 is supposed to be in August/September 2025, and the examination can be expected to be in November 2025.
In the case of this schedule, the stage 2 exam (national level) will be tentatively offered in June 2026.
