Enrol kids for NTSE by November 2, DEOs told

Ludhiana, October 16

In a letter issued to all District Education Officers (DEOs) in the state, the Education Department has asked them to get desired students registered for the National Talent Search Examination (NTSE), stage 1, by November 2.

Assistant Director, State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), stated in the letter that the date for the NTSE (stage 1) is December 13. While many students expressed willingness to get themselves registered, many schools are not cooperating with students on the issue of registration.

The department has asked the authorities concerned to be in touch with private, aided and affiliated schools so that more and more students can get themselves registered for the exam.

Besides, the department has made a strategy to coach students for the exam so that maximum pupils can clear it and avail scholarships.

For students studying in government schools, extra efforts are being made by the department, and the SCERT is preparing a list of experts to prepare modules and study material for them. The study material will be accessible to all students across the state through the Punjab Educare app. In government schools, NTSE coordinators have been appointed to shortlist the prospective students for the exam. — TNS
