National Talent Search Scheme is a flagship activity of the NCERT started in the year 1963. The purpose of the scheme was to identify talented students and nurture their talent. Talent refers to the potentiality that manifests itself in a high level of performance in one or more specialized areas. The scheme, therefore, covers areas like Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, Management and Law. It honours and helps talented students by providing financial assistance in the form of a monthly scholarship. For the courses in Basic Sciences, Social Sciences and Commerce, this assistance is provided up to Ph.D. level. For professional courses like Engineering, Medicine, Management and Law this assistance is given only up to Post Graduation. From the selection year 2010, the NCERT will conduct the National Talent Search Examination for students studying in Class VIII only.
1. Scholarships: On the basis of the examination conducted, 1000 scholarships will be awarded for each group of students appearing for Class VIII examinations. The amount of scholarship will be Rs.500/- per month as per NTS rules.
2. Reservation: 15% scholarships will be reserved for students belonging to the SC category, 7.5% scholarships for students belonging to the ST category and 3% for Physically Challenged Group of Students each in respect of the class VIII.

New Delhi: Here is good news for students appearing for All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE), as the AIEEE will conduct online counseling for admission. It will be easier for students as they can easily attend the counseling from their home town.
"We have framed this process for convenience of students. Under this process candidates need to go the allotted institute only before three days of commencement of the academic session, scheduled to be held from July 20," said Dr. Y. V. Rao, Director NIT, Warangal.
"Students will be provided a log in and a password at the time of the delivery of the AIEE scorecard. With the help of provided log in and password students can fill their preferences for stream and colleges from the list mentioned in the website," added Rao
