Importance of NSEP 2023-24 Mock Test

The significance of taking part in the mock part cannot be stressed enough. There are many advantages of writing a mock test for the NSEP examination and below we have listed all of them.

  • Time Management: 

Time is a very important factor for all competitive examinations as the ranking of the student could change by a mark or more. Many students tend to waste time while writing a competitive examination and that moment when the candidate wastes time while writing the exam is the most important moment as it is the deciding factor of whether the candidate will qualify for the exam. Time could be easily managed if the candidates have practised the mock tests before the final competitive examination. Mock tests in a way help the candidate to save time as they will already be familiar with the kind of questions that could be asked in the examination. 

  • Higher Accuracy:

When the candidates continuously practice the questions present in the mock tests, it will help them to cut down the mistakes and other errors that he or she makes while answering the questions during the actual examination. Even if the candidate is familiar with all the topics, many tend to make mistakes while writing the answers. This is because of not taking part in the mock tests. A mock test helps in identifying the type of error that the candidate is making while writing the answers. Once all the errors are identified and work is done so that it does not happen in the future, chances of repeating the same error in the actual NSEP examination will very likely reduce.

Benefits of Participating in NSEP 2023-24 Exam Mock Test

Students excelling in the NSEP examination receive Gold medals as recognition. They also have the opportunity to join the DAE directly through interviews without appearing in their entrance test, after they complete their education. Qualifying in the NSEP allows the student to participate in International Olympiad. In addition, NSEP-qualifying students who are seeking admission in B.Sc. (with physics) after NSEP became eligible to apply for scholarships that have been instituted to encourage students to take up physics as a career. Thus, NSEP 2023-24 Mock Test helps the students to prepare themselves for the level of questions that they can expect to face in the real exam.

What After NSEP 2023-24?/Stages of the Physics Olympiad

NSEP 2023-24 is the first stage of the five stages till International Physics Olympiad namely, NSEP, INPhO, OCSC, PDT, and IPhO. Each of the stages has been discussed in detail here:

Stage 1: The first stage of the International Physics Olympiad is the National Standard Examination in Physics 2023-24 (NSEP) which will take place in registered schools all across India. Around 20,000 to 60,000 students appear for NSEP every year from approximately ~1500 centers from around the country.

Stage 2: Students who are selected from the Stage I examination (NSEP) are eligible to appear for INPhO. In addition, those students, who have been exempted from NSEP as described on the Enrollment page, are also eligible to appear for INPhO. Besides these two, there is no other way by which a student becomes eligible to appear for INPhO.

Stage 3: The Orientation-cum-selection Camp (OCSC), which is the third stage, is held at the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science and Research and about 35 students who have qualified for the previous stage will be selected for further stages in this camp. Applicants will be assessed based on the experimental and theoretical session questions that will be asked at the camp.

Stage 4: Students succeeding Orientation-cum-selection Camp will participate in a Pre-Departure Camp that will take place from July to November 2023. Out of the 35  students in this stage, only 4 - 6 students will be selected to go for the next stage.

Stage 5: The  4 - 6 students qualifying in the last round will be representing India at the international level in the last stage of the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO). Students who win the gold medal at IPhO have a provision to join the Department of Atomic Energy, which works to develop nuclear power technology and applications of radiation technologies in the fields of basic and applied research, industry, medicine, and agriculture.

Now that you have gone through the above content, we hope to have answered your doubts and queries. The NSEP Mock Test Series has been prepared after close analysis and research of the previous years’ questions, probable questions for this year and the marks weightage of every topic.
