Hi, the registration is still open it started on 6th November and it will end on 22nd of November, so no rush. The level of difficulty has not changed because of the Covid. This years exam is being held offline. So, the chances are that the exam next year will be offline too. Hope this helps.

Hello

Firstly, appreciating you for taking NTSE exam as many tend to ignore it. It is a good opportunity to get scholarships and incentives for science education.

NTSE is yet to announce a date though tentative date may be in December 2021.

The exam can be easy or hard. It can't be predicted. Assuming from trends of how entrance exams like JEE, NEET etc have been made easier in 2020 and 2021, exam can be expected to be easier than the ones in 2019 or before.Bee prepared.

Also, due to the pandemic, number of exam centres may be more for ensuring students are comfortable. But that also depends on the number of students appearing for the exam.

Study class 9 and 10 portions well. Please  go through sample papers and last year question papers. Try to find solutions to each question. It will be very helpful in the exam. I assure you.

Wishing you good luck !
