4. What is the Level of NSEP?

The National Standard Examination in Physics (NSEP) is considered to be the stepping stage in selecting aspiring and talented students for the physics olympiad program. The level of the NSEP examination is very high as it is a national-level examination that is useful in selecting candidates who are interested in the field of physics. 


The students can move forward into the other stages of the olympiad program for physics only after clearing the NSEP stage. Students who are studying in class twelfth or any lower class as of November 30, 2023, can appear for the NSEP examination.

5.  How to Apply for NSEP?

Candidates who are willing to participate in the NCEP examination are required to follow a few steps.
