NCERT to be accorded university status: Sibal

// September 3rd, 2011 // No Comments » // NTSE

HRD Minister Kapil Sibal today strongly backed the need to revise the scholarship amount under the prestigious National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) Scheme. Terming as “farcical”, the meager Rs 500 scholarship amount, Sibal said he would take up the matter of upward revision of the money with the Finance Ministry.

why the area of circle is πr^2 ???

// May 7th, 2011 // No Comments » // IX class, IX class, NTSE, X class, X class

You will recall that the formula for the area of a circle is A = πr2.
An interesting method for illustrating this formula is shown in the drawing. First, we divide the circle into several equal parts by drawing diameters (see Figure 1). The circle then is cut apart and re-fitted as shown in Figure 2. Each of these parts is called a sector of the circle. As sector is a part of the interior of a circle formed by two radii and their intercepted arc.

circle in segment form

Figure 2. is about the shape of a parallelogram. Do you see that the base of the “parallelogram” is one-half the circumference, ½C? Do you see that the height is equal to the radius r? The area A of a parallelogram equals the base b times the height  h. Figure 2 will appear much more like a parallelogram if a larger number of congruent sectors is used. For example, think of cutting a circle into one million such sectors. The base in Figure 2 would appear very nearly a straight line segment. If we apply the formula for the area of a parallelogram to Figure 2, we have:
A = b × h;
A =  ½C × r = ½(C) (r), since b = ½ C and h = r;
A = ½ (2 π r) (r) , since C = 2πr;
A = πr2, by multiplication.

What is NTSE ???

NTSE

The National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) is a national level scholarship program in India to identify and nurture talented students. The NTSE is open for students of Indian nationality whether they study in India or abroad at class VIII level. As it is organized by an official body NCERT, it is widely regarded as the toughest and most prestigious examination upto high school level in the country.

For the courses in Basic Sciences, Social Sciences and Commerce, this scholarship is provided up to Ph.D. level. For professional courses like Engineering, Medicine, Management and Law this scholarship is given only up to Post Graduation.
The NTSE consists of two stages
Stage-1 (STSE)

Each state/UT conducts its own examination. This examination is primarily used to recommend a fixed number of candidates for the second level test to be conducted by the NCERT. The state level screening examination in all states/UTs is on the second Sunday of November except in  Nagaland, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Meghalaya and Mizoram where it will be conducted on second Saturday of November every year.
All students of class VIII in any type of recognized school including Kendriya Vidyalaya, Navodaya Vidyalaya, Sainik school etc are eligible. There is no domicile restriction.

Stage I comprises of two parts
(a) Mental Ability Test (MAT): This test is given to the candidates to judge their power of reasoning, ability to think, ability to judge. A variety of questions e.g. analogies, classification, series etc. are used for this purpose.
(b) Scholastic ability Test (SAT) covering mathematics, Science and Social Sciences.

 

Both MAT (90 MCQ’s) & SAT (90 MCQ’s) are to be of 90 min each with a break in between. Thus on an average examinee will get 1 minute to answer a question. Every correct answer carries one mark and there is no negative marking.

Stage-2 (NTSE)

Candidates acquiring more than the required percentage in the STSE (stage-I) and standing within a specified number of top ranks (state quota) are eligible to appear for NTSE stage-II (about top 3000 students from the entire country). NCERT conducts this second stage every year on 2nd Sunday of May.

 

Students studying abroad: can appear directly for Stage II NTSE under conditions prescribed in the brochure for class VIII which is available on the NCERT website.

This paper comprises of two parts

(a): Mental Ability Test (MAT).

(b): Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) (History, Civics, Geography, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology in addition to Economics (In stage-II only))

 

Both MAT (100 MCQ’s) & SAT (100 MCQ’s) are to be of 90 min each with a break in between. Thus on an average examinee will get around 54 seconds to answer a question and there will be no negative marking. The expected cut off for general & SC/ST category is 40/100 and 32/100 respectively.

However, there will be no interview in NTSE 2011 (as it was earlier till 2010).
