The NTSE was not held in the year 2022, marking the first such omission in its 60-year history. NCERT plans to conduct NTSE 2023 and may accommodate students who missed the opportunity last year to earn the scholarship.

The National Council of Educational Research & Training (NCERT) will conduct the National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) this year.

According to the official, “The education minister Dharmendra Pradhan has given instructions that NTSE should be held at the earliest. We are examining how the Class 10 students of last year can be accommodated.”

NTSE was last held in October 2021, for the academic year 2020-21.
