National Standard Examination in Physics (NSEP)

At+2 level-National Standard Examination in Physics (NSEP) conducted every year since 1987, has become the most ‘visible’ activity of IAPT. It is a voluntary examination. More than 40,000 students at over 1200 centres, most of which are in small towns and villages, appear in this examination.

Students are allowed to take away the question paper and the solutions are provided to them after a week. The NSEP is carried out in English, Hindi & a few other Indian languages.

National Graduate Physics Examination (NGPE)

At B.Sc. level-National Graduate Physics Examination (NGPE). It is conducted on similar lines as NSEP. National Graduate Physics Examination (NGPE), is conducted on similar lines as NSEP.

Last Date for Submitting Form in normally in the month of November every year And the examination held on third Sunday of January next year

Recognition: S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Kolkata, allows direct admission to toppers in NGPE, after an interview, in their integrated Ph.D. programme.

Scholarships: A number of scholarships (subject to a maximum of 5) have been instituted to encourage students to take-up physics as a career. Those who seek admission in M.Sc. (physics) after NGPE, are eligible for these scholarships.
