INDIAN
ASSOCIATION OF PHYSICS TEACHERS
For Students
National
Standard Examinations in PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY ,ASTRONOMY & JUNIOR
SCIENCE
(NSEP,
NSEC, NSEB , NSEA & NSEJS) 2012-2013 Examinations
What is
IAPT?
IAPT (Indian Association of Physics Teachers) is an
association of Physics Teachers spread through out the country. It was started
by Late Dr. D. P. Khandelwal in 1984 and today it has 5300 life members. All
the work of this (our) organization is voluntary in character-thus NOBODY is paid
any Honorarium or remuneration for ANY WORK of IAPT.
What is
NSEP? NSEC? NSEB? NSEA? or NSEJS ?
National Standard Examinations ( NSEP in Physics,
NSEC in Chemistry, NSEB in Biology, NSEA in Astronomy and NSEJS in Junior Science
) are nationwide examinations organized by IAPT. We have been conducting NSEP for last 26
years by now. NSEP,NSEC,NSEB and NSEA are at CBSE class XII level while NSEJS is at CBSE class X
level. These NSEs are the FIRST and
THE ONLY SCREENING TESTS leading towards International Olympiads in the
respective subjects.
What are
Science Olympiads?
Olympiads are internationally recognized
competitions in various fields of knowledge. They are the highest level
examinations and are hosted by different countries every year. Participation in
any of the Olympiads has worldwide recognition and is considered as a great
achievement.
International
Olympiads are held
every year in
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry,
Biology, Astronomy and Junior Science.
How do I go to (or participate in ) the Physics (
or Chemistry or Biology or Astronomy or Jr. Science ) Olympiad ?
You will
have to appear for NSEP (or NSEC / NSEB / NSEA/ NSEJS) and then through the Indian
National Physics Olympiad (INPhO or INChO or INBO or INAO or INOJS) you may be selected
for the further stages of the respective International Olympiad Programme.
Is there any other way to go to International Olympiads in these subjects?
No! There is
none.
How do I enroll myself for any of these? You must
register from your OWN School / College.
The Principal (or Physics or Science Teacher)
of your College/ Jr. College / High School will enroll you. He will give you
all further instructions. In case you have any difficulty then refer to our
website www.iapt.org.in. List of all NSE
centres of last year ( viz 2011- 12) is
available on the website. The name of
contact person at the respective centre
is also indicated. Enrolment at the centers only. No direct enrolment.
What are the
fees?
Rs 100/= per student per subject (per examination)
to be paid in cash to the centre in charge.
DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO IAPT OFFICE.
This exam fee cannot be refunded What
are the details of the entire selection procedure?
Entire
selection process is meritbased.
Following procedure is laid down for the selection of students for the
IInd stage ( viz ) Indian National
Olympiads ( INOs) of the selection process The total number of students who
will qualify to appear for second stage Indian National Olympiads ( INOs)2013 will be based on the
first stage NSEs 2012 respectively and
the following scheme is adopted:
(a)
Eligibility Clause: A candidate must secure a score equal to or greater
than a Minimum Admissible Score (MAS) to be eligible for the Stage II INO exam
leading to the International Olympiad). The MAS for a given subject will be 40%
of the maximum score in that subject.
(b)
Proportional Representation Clause: The number of students selected for
Stage II (INO) in each subject is around 300. The number of candidates who
appeared for NSE in 2011-12 in a subject from centers in each State or Union
Territory (UT) will be considered the
baseline for calculating the number qualifying from centers in that State or UT
for that subject. Suppose this number in 2011-12 for centers in a given State
in a given subject is S, and the total number that appeared in 2011-12 in that
subject for the country is T, then the number selected to Stage II in that subject
from that State would be S/T times 300, rounded off to the nearest higher integer.
In the event of a tie at the last position in the list all students with the same
marks at this position will qualify to appear for the Stage II examination. The
selected students must nevertheless satisfy the eligibility clause laid out
above.
The total number to be selected from centers in
each State for each subject will be displayed on the IAPT and HBCSE websites.
(c) Minimum
Representation Clause: Notwithstanding the proportional representation
clause the number of students selected for INO from each State and UT must be
at least one, provided that the eligibility clause is satisfied.
(d) Merit
Clause: Given the eligibility clause, it is conceivable that 300 students may
not qualify for Stage II in a subject. Should this occur, the shortfall (from
300) will be selected based purely on merit without further consideration to Proportional
Representation and Minimum Representation Clauses. In the event of a tie at the
last position in the list all students with the same marks at this position
will qualify to appear for the Stage II examination.
The number of students to be selected from centers
in each state for each subject is given here.
Individual letters will be sent to these students
informing that they have to appear for Indian National Olympiads (INOs). All these INOs are organized by HOMI BHABHA
CENTRE for SCIENCE EDUCATION ( HBCSE ) Mumbai.
TOP 35 students are chosen on the basis of their performance at these
INOs. These 35 students in each subject attend Orientation cumSelection Camp (OCSC) in respective
discipline for about 2 weeks at HOMI BHABHA CENTRE for SCIENCE EDUCATION (
HBCSE ) Mumbai. Indian team to
participate in International Olympiad is
selected from the OCSC in respective
subject.
