The students have the option to go to www.NSC2015.in and register themselves. but the ideal way that we are proposing to the schools is for them to share the list with us and we do a bulk registration from our side. This is a very simple process where we need just the name class and section of the student. After we do the bulk registration, we will send that sheet back to you and you can distribute it to the students. This sheet would have the username and password for each student. Download Template.

The online tests can be taken anywhere. The process is, after registration, the student has to choose a time slot for the test. Any time between 15th Oct and 15th Nov 2015. The test can be taken in school or at home. The only requirement is an internet connection. We have had schools conduct it in labs also last year where each class would go and take it sequentially.

No teacher nomination is required for the test. The monitoring of the student happens online. We have teachers as NSC Champs who are people who nominate all the students from class VI to XI and are interested in promoting the NSC around them. They get a certificate for their efforts.
