The provisional results were released on February 09, 2022. Earlier, the results were supposed to be announced on February 11, 2022, but the same got postponed due to some unknown reasons. Every year, NTSE is conducted in two stages. In the initial or the first stage, the students are examined at the state level. The candidates who are shortlisted based on the first stage are then allowed to participate in the second stage. As a result, the candidates who qualify for the second stage then become eligible for the NTS scholarship.
