Talent refers to the potentiality that manifests itself in a high level of performance in one or more specialized areas. The NTSE scheme, therefore, covers areas like Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, Management and Law.

For the courses in Basic Sciences, Social Sciences and Commerce, this assistance is provided up to Ph.D. level. For professional courses like Engineering, Medicine, Management and Law this assistance is given only up to Post Graduation.
