The Unified Council conducts the National Level Science Talent Search Examination (NSTSE) every year for students from Class I to Class XII. The NSTSE aims at identifying students who have a strong conceptual understanding of various topics at their level. The focus of the NSTSE is on the fundamentals and the students are expected to think and answer the questions, and not simple recall and write.
