NTSE SAT Syllabus (Maths, Science & Social Science):

This SAT section of  NTSE is conducted to judge how much of text-book knowledge your have earned. NCERT has not prescribed any particular syllabus for the State Level Examination as well as for National Level Examination. The reason is simple: India has no universal school board: there are too many educational boards – at National Level as well as State Level.

However, it is safe to assume that questions asked at National Level would be more or less NCERT book oriented and since the very purpose of State Level Examination is to ultimately select students at national level, the questions asked at State Level would also be more or less NCERT book oriented. The standard of questions conforms to the level of Classes IX and X.

Do not worry at all about the syllabus – questions asked are more or less common to all boards, so that good students from every board can answer.
