Overview

NSTSE or National Level Science Talent Search Examination is a national level diagnostic test for students from class 2 to class 12 to assess their educational performance and learning ability. Considered India’s Most Popular Assessment exam, the exam focuses mainly on the candidate's conceptual performance rather than memorizing so that exams like  AFMC, AIEEE, AIIMS, GRE, CAT, IIT JEE, GMAT, etc. which are meant to test the conceptual knowledge & problem solving, are easy to crack. Instead of grading and comparison, NSTSE's aim is 'Improvement'. There are various awards, scholarships, and medals for toppers and each candidate gets a 'Participation Certificate' to appear for the exam .
