To prepare for any examination, it is very important to have a proper study plan. The way a candidate divides his time throughout the day and how he manages to cover the topics which are important for the examination is a very important step in clearing any examination. The same case is with the NSEP examination. NSEP is the first stage in the olympiad program for physics and there are many stages after NSEP that are considered to be even tougher than NSEP. The students who are planning to appear for the NSEP examination are required to study the NCERT of class 11th and 12th first and then move on and refer to other books such as HC Verma which is considered to be very important in preparing for the olympiad program for physics.

8. How to Apply for NSEP?

The candidates who are willing to participate in the NCEP examination are required to follow a few steps. The candidates are expected to download a registration form from the official website of the IAPT first. After downloading the form, they have to fill in all their details.
