Hey! Simranjit, Nice to know that you want to beat talent search exams. Well NTSE stands for National Talent Search Examination. National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) is a national-level scholarship program in India to identify and recognize students with extremely high intellect and academic talent. Close to 1,50,000 students appear in this scholarship exam every year. The scheme is open to students of Indian nationality. Only students studying in Class X are eligible to appear for the selection process. As it is organized by an official body (NCERT), it is widely regarded by the Government of India as the toughest and most prestigious examination at high school level in the country. It helps students to proliferate their mental level and also helps them to sharpen their minds. It's Syllabus is as follows:- Stage-I : State level examination The first level exam is the state level examination, which has two parts for nominating the required number of candidates for the second level test to be conducted by the DSERT. Part-I: Mental Ability Test (MAT), and Part-II:Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)(with questions on History, Civics, Geography, Economics, Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Biology). Students of any Board studying at any recognized school can participate. Those who get qualified an enter the Second Level National Exam.

Stage - II : National level examination Candidates acquiring more than the required percentage in the state level examination and standing within a specified number of top ranks (state quota) are eligible to appear for the national level examination (about top 4000 students from the entire country).
