PSEB puts NTSE mock test question paper, answer key online
The SCERT conducted mock test for better preparation of students for the scholarship exam.
SCERT Punjab had scheduled the second mock test of NTSE on December 7 and 8 which was postponed to December 9 due to protests called by farmers. PSEB has now put up the mock test paper along with the answer keys online on the official website ssa.org.punjab. This was done on December 8, a day before the exam.
Of the total 3,083 students studying in Class 10th, a total of 2,993 appeared for the first National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) mock test at 232 government schools in the district of Punjab. Around 64 students scored between 80 to 90 percent and 204 scored between 70 and 80 percent. Fourteen students scored above 90 per cent marks in the practice test.
Nandani and Himani Sharma from Government Senior Secondary School, Cemetery Road, scored 99 out of 100 marks. Both said that now their aim is to score well in the next mock test that was scheduled to be held on December 7 and 8.
The two-hour practice test contained 100 questions (50 each from mental ability and scholastic ability) and the majority of students were able to finish the test in the allotted time.
School authorities made all necessary arrangements and students were accommodated in classrooms by adhering to social distancing norms.
At the government model senior secondary smart school, Punjab Agricultural University, 62 students appeared in the test. To check the OMR sheets, the school principals deputed six teachers so that the result can be compiled in an hour. While teachers of other government schools sent the results to block mentors so that they can be compiled at the district level.
NTSE nodal officer, Balwinder Kaur, said, “We have received good response, as the majority of students who have registered for the NTSE exam to be held on December 13, appeared in the mock test. The results have been prepared and students will be informed so that they can work on their weak areas to enhance their score in the next mock test.”
