The national standard examination in physics is organized by the Indian association of physics Teachers ( ISPT ). It is held all over the country for the students of classes 11th and 12th. This examination aims to select the participants for the international-level Olympiad. It is a single-level test. Before the national level, the regional level examination is conducted. The officials provide the answer key to the students after a week. It provides a platform for students who want to enhance their abilities in the field of physics.

Registration Process For NSEP
The students can quickly fill out the registration form as the process is relatively easy and hassle-free. Students can register by themselves or through the educational centers. First, the students can fill out the registration form with all the essential details needed for registration. After that, they have to pay the fees to confirm the process. The registration fee for a student is 200. After registration, officials provide the students with the admit card and center information.
Result of NSEP
Once the whole conduction of the examination is completed, students are provided with the result. The examination result is usually declared after 4- 6 weeks of the examination. After that, students can check it on the official website.
