NSTSE FEE, Eligibility Criteria…

NSTSE is a diagnostic test which helps students improve their overall learning ability and educational performance. Thus NSTSE helps each student to know early, whether he/she has properly understood a concept, so that immediate action can be taken to correct the aberration and pave a path for improvement. Often, students develop conceptual gaps which increase as the students go to higher classes and turn those into a ‘phobia’ for the subject.

NSTSE Overview

The National Level Science Talent Search Examination, commonly known as NSTSE, is a skill test conducted by the Unified Council, a professionally managed progressive organization, with an objective to identify and nurture the best brains of the country in the science discipline. Being a curriculum-based examination, the NSTSE critically assesses a student’s strengths and weaknesses on the basis of concepts.
