Requirements for the Second Stage 

The fundamental target of leading this test isn't zeroing in on merit however to include as numerous students from the nation to take an interest in the test and attempt to show and uncover their ability. Thus the determination to the stage II assessments for example Indian National Olympiad Examinations (INOs) depends on the accompanying scheme.

Cutoff 

To be qualified to get to a higher level, for example, the subsequent stage, it is important that a student scores something like a Minimum Admissible Score (MAS) which is half of the normal marks scored by top 10 candidates. 

Relative Representation Clause 

The greatest number of students that can get to Stage II (INO) in each subject is around 300. These numerous students are not chosen distinctly on merit premise yet in addition on proportionate premise. This extent is settled based on the number of applicants who showed up for NSE in the earlier year from that middle in each State or Union Territory (UT). 

On the off chance that there is a tie at the last position, then, at that point, every one of the students seeking the last position will be qualified to move to arrange II. Anyway, it's fundamental that the chosen students satisfy the eligibility criteria mentioned above. The chosen students from each State for each subject will be shown on the IAPT and HBCSE website.

Least Representation Clause 

The number of students chosen for INO from each State and UT should be no less than one, given that the qualification provision is fulfilled. 

Legitimacy Clause 

As expressed above, around 300 students are to be chosen for the second stage. Assuming this doesn't occur as indicated by MAS, after choice according to justify, the deficit from 300 students will be chosen dependent on merit minus any additional thought to the corresponding portrayal and least portrayal statements. In case of a tie at the last situation in the rundown, all students with similar imprints at this position will fit the bill to show up for the Stage II examination.
