The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) postponed the National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) Stage 2 exam 2021, which was to be held on June 13 last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will now be held on June 12, 2022.
While NTSE 2022-2023 exam dates have not been announced yet, we will present you with a general scheme of things to give you an idea of when to be on the lookout for important NTSE announcements.
Stage 1 of the NTSE is a state-level examination, which has two papers:

The actual dates for the exams may change according to prevalent circumstances. Class X students are advised to keep an eye on newspaper advertisements issued by the state/UT and school circulars for the NTSE Stage 1 exam registration date, exam date, and result date.

It mentions the exam venue, roll number of the student and date and time of the test. If students want to apply for a change of an examination centre, they have to do it within 15 days of downloading their E-Admit Card and at least 21 days before the examination.
The selected candidates will be informed by registered letter and through the NCERT website. While no definite date for NTSE Stage 2 exam result is mentioned in the information brochure, the results are usually declared by October every year.
The actual dates for the exams may change according to prevalent circumstances. Class X students are advised to keep an eye on newspaper advertisements issued by the NCERT for the NTSE Stage 2 exam registration date, exam date, and result date.
NTSE preparation should ideally start from the beginning of Class X. However, if you have not started yet, there is no need to worry. You can still begin your preparation with earnestness and dedication and perform well in the examination.
AskIITians NTSE tutors the following study plan if you are aiming for NTSE scholarships in Class X:
Given below is a suggested 3-day study plan for NTSE Class X students who have not started their preparation yet. Keep repeating this plan until September:
Day 1: MAT
Start with solving puzzles and riddles to sharpen your mental ability.
You can begin with simple lateral thinking puzzles and work your way up to more complex ones. Once you get comfortable with solving puzzles, move on to quantitative aptitude questions.
Practice 30-40 questions every day on a variety of topics like time and distance, time and work, percentage, etc.
Day 2: SAT
On this day, revise the topics you have studied in Class IX and X. You can start with one topic and move on to the next one once you are confident about the first one.
Make sure that you revise all the important topics from each subject.
Day 3: Language
Choose any two sections from your English Language textbook and solve the questions given under each section.
Focus on solving the questions correctly rather than solving them quickly.
You can also solve previous years’ question papers to get an idea of the type of questions that are asked in the exam.
We hope this article on NTSE Important Dates 2022 was informative for all the Class X students who will be appearing for the NTSE Stage 1 and Stage 2 exams next year. All the best!
