NTSE Application Procedure 2024 Overview

One of India’s most prestigious scholarships is the National Talent Search Examination (NTSE). The goal of the NTSE exam is to identify talented students throughout the country and reward them with scholarship programs so that they can pursue higher education. The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) administers this exam.

The National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) is conducted in two phases. The first level is held in each state/U.T. separately. Candidates who pass the first round of the examination will be eligible for the second-level national examination.

Each state’s SCERT (State Council of Educational Research and Training) releases the NTSE application form. But as per the official notification of NCERT, the NTSE exam has been stalled till further notice. The NTSE application form 2024 will be released online and offline. The last date to submit the NTSE 2024-24 application form may vary for each state. Students will be charged an application fee to fill out the NTSE form.
