NSTSE — National Level Science Talent Search Exam

Unified Council · Classes 2–12 · 2026–27 window: School route: Dec 2026 · Online: Jan 2027 (expected)

The diagnostic-first science and maths assessment — famous for its skill-wise feedback report.

Last cycle ran school-route exams on 5 & 17 December and the online edition in late January. Expect the same rhythm for 2026-27. The detailed skill report is NSTSE's real product — use it.

Who is it for?

Students of Classes 2–12. Subject focus: Science. As with any olympiad, the best candidates are children who voluntarily enjoy the subject — an olympiad should stretch curiosity, not manufacture pressure.

Registration & source of record
