Ranchi, Nov 15: Earlier, students who wanted to pursue a career as a doctor or engineer used to prepare for medical and engineering exams after completing their class 12 exams. Then there was a phase when students started to join career coaching as soon as they joined the intermediate studies in class 11 to prepare for medical and engineering.
However, with growing competition, many students have also started to prepare for these examinations even before writing their class 10 exams. In this article, we will take a look at the important olympiads and exams for students of classes 8 to 10 that may help them to crack medical and engineering exams.
National Talent Search Exam (NTSE)
Only students in the tenth grade are eligible to take the National Talent Search Exam (NTSE), which is divided into Stage I and Stage II. All Indian states and UTs jointly administer the state-level first stage exam. On the other hand, students who pass the first stage of the NTSE are given the opportunity to take stage II.
All Indian states and UTs jointly administer the state-level first stage exam. On the other hand, students who pass the first stage of the NTSE are given the opportunity to take stage II. Only those who pass the NTSE stage 1 exam will be qualified to take the Stage II exam, as was already mentioned. The primary criterion is this.
The goal of the NTSE is to give scholarships to eligible applicants who want to pursue higher education in the social sciences or the sciences. Students will be able to continue their studies in the field of their choice thanks to these scholarships. The NTSE scholarship will be given based on the student’s total achievement in both parts of the exam.
