Our teaching methodology

NTSE is a National Level scholarship program conducted by NCERT, in India, to search for talented students and support them. All the qualified students of class X get monthly Scholarship till their post graduation. This not only boosts the self-confidence of students but also enables them to turn their dream career into reality. NTSE is a two-stage selection process. Stage I selection is done by States/UTs through written examination. States/UTs select and recommend candidates to appear for Stage II which is conducted by NCERT.

To become an NTSE scholar, one needs to possess a vast pool of knowledge about the concepts of syllabus of up to class 10. The faculty at Lakshya strives to polish the young minds so that they can become future eminent professionals. We provide the finest NTSE Coaching for students.

The National Talent Search Examination consists of Mental Ability Test (MAT) and Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). The questions in MAT and SAT are multiple choice questions. Each question has four alternatives. The candidate has to select one correct answer from the given alternatives and mark its number in the answer-sheet as per instructions given during the exam. Each correct answer carries one mark. Thus, the total score of a candidate in a test is equal to the number of questions answered correctly by him/her.

Mental Ability Test (MAT) analyzes a student’s power of reasoning, ability to think, ability to judge, evaluate or discriminate, ability to visualize, spatial orientation, etc. There is a variety of questions, for example, analogies, classification, series, pattern perception, hidden figures, coding-decoding, block assembly, problem-solving etc.
