Finding your way

• The menu at the top leads to every part of the portal. On a phone, open it with the Menu button.
• Choose your language with the selector at the top of the page or in the list at its foot. The portal remembers it.
• The Sitemap lists all the pages.

For students

1. Download the nomination form, fill it in, and have it signed and sealed by the head of your institution.
2. Register between ⁦15-10-2026⁩ and ⁦21-10-2026⁩. You receive your application number by e-mail.
3. Follow your application on Application status with your application number, your date of birth and the last four digits of your mobile number. The same details sign you in to the candidate portal, where you find your admit card.
4. Take the online test on ⁦22-10-2026⁩, between 11:30 and 12:00 IST, in the candidate portal. See the Examination page.
5. The merit list is published after the test. Selected students give their bank details for the stipend (see the guide) and submit their research paper in the candidate portal.

Documents and videos

• Documents in PDF open in the browser. You can also use a free PDF reader, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader.
• Videos open on YouTube, where captions can be switched on with the CC button when the video has them.

Screen readers

The portal can be used with screen readers, for example NVDA (free, for Windows), JAWS, Windows Narrator, VoiceOver on Apple devices and TalkBack on Android phones.

Browsers

Use a current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, with JavaScript switched on: the online test and the classroom quiz need it. For the test, use a steady internet connection and keep the window open until you have submitted.
