NSEP Mock Papers 1 Test: 2024-25

Traditionally, the selection of teams to represent India at the International Olympiad has been a three-stage process, but now it will be a two-stage process for the academic year 2024-25 as a one-time exception.

NSEP, which is a national-level exam that has been conducted every year since 1987 by the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT) is the first of five stages to qualify in the International Physics Olympiad (InPhO). The NSEP is carried out in English, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, and a few other languages.

It is conducted in two levels- the Selection round and the Regional round. In the first stage, the selection round helps in filtering out the candidates. The Regional round consists of deserving candidates, qualifying in the first round from different states who give another exam. There are a total of five stages for the entire Physics Olympiad namely NSEP (stage 1), INO (stage 2), OCSC (stage 3), PDT (stage 4), and IPhO (stage 5). Details of each of these stages have been elaborated on below.
