N-C-E-R-T. If you are a student, this is one word that is likely to instantly bring to nous images of edifice textbooks!

And that is not surprising, because after all NCERT textbooks are the mainstay of almost all CBSE students particularly those in classes X and XII.

It must be pointed out however, that the NCERT textbooks that a student uses today are far more interesting, attractive and reader-friendly than the textbooks that were acquirable around the instance that I was in school.

So, full marks to the NCERT for at least attempting to innovate and inform the content of textbooks in a behavior that is most likely to appeal to students!

My determine of
writing this article is not to talk most the style="color:#3333FF;">NCERT textbooks, but actually to tell you more most the different other things that the NCERT does apart from publishing textbooks, in order to help students see and optimize their true potential.

Scholarship exam conducted by NCERT
NCERT is a investigate methodicalness that is sacred to introducing reforms in the area of activity and for transfer most improvement in edifice curriculum. Among its different initiatives and responsibilities, the NCERT also conducts different scholarship exams.

The National
Talent Search Examination (NTSE) conducted by NCERT is one such exam conducted by NCERT every year.

This scholarship exam was started by NCERT way backwards in 1963 to identify and nurture talent.

The NCERT
recognizes talent by structure of providing a certificate and financial assistance in the form of a monthly scholarship of Rs. 500/- per month, continuing right up to higher studies. The NTS exam conducted by NCERT for edifice students covers Science, Social Science and Maths.



An exam that was unstoppered to students across all classes earlier, from the year 2010, the NCERT will carry the NTS exam for students of class VIII only. There are a total of 1000 scholarships that the NCERT gives out every year. The selection process for the NTSE conducted by NCERT is a two-stage process.

Those students who qualify in Stage I exam are eligible to appear for Stage II exam. The exam for Stage I will be held in November 2009 and that for Stage II will be held in May 2010.

The
exam conducted by NCERT comprises a Mental Ability Test (MAT) and a Scholastic Ability Test (SAT) followed by an Interview in Stage II for those qualifying in written exam of Stage II.

Other student-focused initiatives by NCERT…
As a domestic level organization, the NCERT is mostly participating at contract level matters attendant to education.

Therefore its
primary initiatives remain in the area of framing guidelines, introducing educational reforms, issuing directives, conducting refresher and orientation courses for doctrine body and conducting relevant training programs for teachers etc.

However, the NCERT does undertake destined activities instance and again that are targeted direct to the students.

Some such
activities that the NCERT undertook in the recent past are organizing an All India photography contest for students and organizing a State Level Science Exhibition for students in the year 2009-2010.
