NSEJS

WHAT IS IT?

National Science Examination in Junior Science, more often referred to as NSEJS, is a national level exam conducted by http://www.iapt.org.in for students at the secondary level, mainly 8th, 9th and 10th. Basically, it is the first selection stage examination which finally leads to the International Junior Science Olympiad, in which only 6 students represent India at international level and display their skills by excelling in other countries.

 Basically, this is the five-stage process of any NSE to international level:

The International Olympiad (IO) programme follows a five stage process.

WHAT DO I GET IF I EXCEL AT ANY STAGE?

NSEJS is a very esteemed olympiad at national level and holds quite an importance (much more than SOF, UCO and SilverZone Olympiads) when one adds it in CV/Resume. So, it has much importance if you wish to pursue admission in foreign universities and jobs in foreign countries. Now, the big question- what do I get if I clear NSEJS?
