NSEP Result 2024-25 - A Brief Overview

A candidate who is interested in attempting the NSEP 2024-25 examination should have knowledge of how the NSEP Exam results and the merit list of the student is prepared. The NSEP Examination consists of both multiple-choice questions and also conceptual questions. The NSEP Examination becomes very difficult to crack if the candidate does not have a proper approach or a good study plan. 

About NSEP 2024-25

NSEP or National Standard Examination in Physics is a competitive examination that was started in the year 1987 and since then the legacy has been continued without any fail by the organisers of NSEP, IAPT. This examination is not compulsory for every student, that is taking participation in this examination is completely voluntary. More than thirty thousand students participated in this examination and around one thousand five hundred centres are allotted by the organisers for the conduction of the examination.


Even in rural areas centres are allotted. Participation in NSEP is done voluntarily by the scholars. Scholars who are willing to take part in the examination should understand that NSEP is not linked with any scholarship and entrance. This exam is of national standard and all the measures are taken by the organiser to protect the code of conduct of this prestigious examination. NSEP is conducted in languages such as Hindi, English and other few languages recognised by the Indian Constitution.

FAQs on NSEP Result 2024-25

1. How do I check my IOQP result?

Students can check their IOQP result by visiting the official website and logging in using their roll number and date of birth. 

2. Is IOQP and NSEP the same?

IOQP is divided into 2 parts. The first part is called the National Standard Examination in Physics (NSEP) and the second part is called the Indian National Physics Olympiad (INPHO).

3. What is the fee of NSEP?

Each student is charged a fee of INR 200/- for NSEP.

4. Which calculator is allowed in NSEP?

Calculators that do not have more than 3 rows for any function in their display are allowed in NSEP. Also, the calculator with a graphic mode is not allowed.

5. How hard is NSEP?

The National Standard Examination in Physics (NSEP) is regarded as the first step in the selection of aspiring students for the Physics Olympiad program and these students also get the chance to appear for the IMO where they represent India. The NSEP test has a very high degree of difficulty because it is a national-level examination but this can be cleared with a flying score if the candidate has practised enough in the right manner.


Students have to clear this stage to go on with other examinations that have to be taken to get selected in IMO.

6. What is the Level of NSEP?

The National Standard Examination in Physics (NSEP) is regarded as a preliminary step in the selection of aspiring and promising students for the Physics olympiad program. The NSEP test has a very high degree of difficulty since it is a national-level examination that is helpful in choosing applicants who are interested in the field of physics. Only after passing the NSEP stage will students be able to progress to the next steps of the physics olympiad curriculum.
