The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) is an institution that was set up in 1961 to improve the standards of school education in the country. One of the first programs initiated by NCERT was a countrywide academic talent search competition, with a view to award scholarships
The National Talent Search Exam (NTSE), Initially conducted only in Delhi, was later extended nationwide. It was open only to Class 11 students. After the introduction of the 10 + 2 + 3 scheme, this competition was open to students of Classes X, XI, and XII.
From 2006, the exam was held for Class VIII students. But recently there was review of the scheme and from 2012 onwards, the exam is only for Class X students. The total number of scholarships is now 1000, with reservations made for certain sections of the society.
The scholarship is for higher studies in science and social science subjects, up to the level of a Ph.D. The qualifying exam consists of two objective type papers, the first is a Mental Ability Test (MAT), and the second is a Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT).
This book covers the Mental Abilities Test topics. It covers number series, odd one out (numerical), missing numbers, letter series, coding and decoding, time sequence and direction sequence, directory, ranking, number of figures, mirror images, and water images.
