North East India Physics Talent Search > NEIPTS 2024
The results of the NEIPTS 2024 Examination, the first-ever North East India Physics Talent Search Examination (NEIPTS), were successfully conducted and announced on March 3rd, 2025. The exam was organized by the Physics Academy of the North East with the dual objectives of enhancing physics understanding among young students and identifying the region’s top physics talents at an early age to encourage their development. Dr. Yajnya Sapkota served as the examination coordinator.
In preparation for the exam, students were provided with study materials, and pre-examination teaching sessions, led by Dr. Debasish Bora from IIT Guwahati, were organized to clarify key physics concepts.
The talent search was carried out in two stages. The first stage involved an MCQ-based examination, which included negative marking for incorrect answers, to select the Centre Toppers and finalists. These finalists consisted of the State Toppers and the top 20 candidates selected purely on merit. The exam was held across more than 25 centres in various states of North East India. In the second stage, finalists took part in an online interview conducted by a panel consisting of Dr. Samrat Dey, Dr. Pranab Jyoti Bhuyan, Dr. Nabendu Kr. Deb, Dr. Ranjan Kalita, Dr. Yajnya Sapkota, and Dr. Devabrat Mahanta. This interview process ultimately led to the selection of 11 North East India Toppers.
