The national standard examination in junior science is a national-level examination. It is a science Olympiad organized by the IAPT ( Indian association of physics Teachers). The NSEJS was first held in 1987; since then, it has been growing. Many students participate in this examination, and once you qualify, you will get a chance to appear in the international examination. This examination provides an opportunity for those students who want to enhance their ability and intelligence in science.
Stages of NSEJS
Stage 1- Every year, more than 80000 students participate in this examination with the dream of qualifying for the merit list. However, only 300 lucky students are selected from 8000 students based on merit, and these 300 are eligible to participate in stage 2 of this examination.
Stage 2 – It is a tricky part of this examination. Only those students are eligible to perform in this stage who scored more than 50%. The top 35 students get the invitation to the 2-week program. After that, only six students get the selection to represent India at an international junior science Olympiad.
