The number of points you received on the NSTSE has no bearing on your Level 2 eligibility. The first test determines if you are eligible for the second level. The top 100 rank holders across India, as well as the top 20 rank holders in each class, will be elevated to Level 2 and eligible to take the exam. If the student is in first grade, however, he or she will not qualify for the second level. Only students in grades 2 to 12 are given the NSTSE Level 2 assessment. This test will determine the final conclusion.
