FAQs on NSEP 2024-25 Exam Dates - National Standard Examination in Physics
1. What are the other stages after the NSEP Examination?
There are four stages after the NSEP examination, the last stage being the International Olympiad examination for Physics. Around sixty thousand students participate in the first stage of the NSEP examination and around three hundred students move on to the second round. The selected students are then sent for the Indian National Olympiad (INO). In the second stage, 50 candidates with the highest score will be eligible for the orientation-cum-selection camp. In the third stage, out of the 50 students, only five students from the orientation and the selection camp go to the pre-departure camp. Last but not least, the students from the pre-departure camps get the opportunity to participate in the international olympiads. NSEP is considered to be the initial stage that will finally lead to the Indian National Olympiad followed by the International Olympiads.
2. What are the benefits of participating in NSEP?
Benefits of participating in NSEP:
NSEP or the National Standard Examination in Physics is the first of the many stages that are included to select students for the International Science Olympiad which is one of the prestigious exams in its field at the International Level.
Students securing the required cut off marks in NSEP will be eligible for the next level which is the Indian National Science Olympiad.
Students clearing the further stages will be eligible for the training and orientation programs and out of the entire country, 6 students will be selected to represent the country at an international level competition.
Students who secure gold medals in NSEP will have the advantage of joining DAE directly with an interview without needing to attempt the written exam once they have completed their education.
Apart from this, students who take up admission in a BSc course with Physics will be eligible for a certain scholarship.
3. Are calculators allowed for NSEP?
Calculators are not totally banned or restricted from being used in exams like NSEP or the National Standard Examination in Physics. Yet, a set of precise rules had been put forward by the Indian Association of Physics Teachers and Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education.
Since the role of conducting and organising these exams are entrusted upon them, their decision on matters such as these are final and students should adhere to these regulations without fail.
The calculators that the candidates bring inside the exam centres should be ordinary ones without any special features such as special graph mode or integration mode.
Another condition is that the calculators should not be the kind that has an inbuilt unique equation-solver function or matrix mode.
4. How to clear the NSEP Exam?
NSEP is the exam that the candidates should qualify for so that they can move on and attend the other exam for the national olympiad program in Physics. NSEP examinations require that the candidates should be up to date with the concepts of physics. The first step in preparing for the NSEP examination is that the candidates should completely study the NCERT Class XI and Class XII books. After completely studying the NCERT books, the candidates can go and refer to other conceptual books on Physics. NSEP could be cleared by clearly understanding all the concepts of physics.
5.Is NSEP better or NSEB?
NSEP (National Standard Examination in Physics) are conducted for students who are interested in making the subject Physics as their main interest of study, whereas NSEB (National Standard Examination in Physics) are for students interested in the subject Biology. Both exams are a great platform for students to grow and learn, you can choose to attempt any of the exams that interest you.
