 NTSE STAGE 2 POSTPONED: NEW DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED ON 24TH

OCTOBER 2021

NCERT officials have confirmed that NTSE will be postponed and thus, not be conducted on 24th October 2021.

According to the information provided by NCERT Professor and Head, Dr. Indrani S Bhadhuri, NTSE 2020-21 Stage 2 exam was scheduled on 24th October, 2021. The admit cards were released on 8th October and the students were hoping that NTSE will be conducted on right time this year. But now, the NCERT officials have confirmed that NTSE will be postponed and thus, not be conducted on 24th October 2021.




Reasons why NTSE got postponed:-

1.    75% of the districts in Kerala are under red or orange alert due to massive and unexpected floods. The exam center Kendriya Vidyalaya, Thiruvananthapuram is itself a victim of floods as water logging has occurred in that area.

2.    In Uttarakhand, students from off districts like Chamoli have no access to reach Dehradun, the only exam center in the state due to heavy landslides in the state.

3.    Admit Cards of many students from Tripura, Sikkim, Jammu & Kashmir and Meghalaya have yet not been uploaded on official website. The candidates were asked to get a photocopy of blank admit card in the exams, which was causing a lot of problem.

     NCERT officials have confirmed that NTSE will be postponed and thus, not be conducted on 24th October 2021.

New Dates of NTSE Stage 2:-

The expected dates for NTSE stage 2 are either 7th November or 14th November. The NCERT officials said, keeping in accordance with KVPY (Kishor Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojna), if exam is conducted on 7th November. The NCERT officials said that they are trying to conduct the exam as soon as possible due to TERM-1 exams of various education boards, including CBSE. Physics HOD of Aakash Institute recommended students to focus on JEE and NEET preparation, because most of questions in NTSE stage 2 generally belong to topics coming in Term-1 exams of class 11. NCERT officials have scheduled an urgent press conference on Thursday 10 AM, we are expecting them to release the new dates of NTSE stage-2.
