Title of the Best Practices:

  • NGPE: National Graduate Physics Examination.

    • Objectives of the Practice:

    • 1. Students can apply online on indapt.org as well as through centre.
    • 2. Fully voluntary examination in stress free environment.
    • 3. It provides individual’s own assessment at all India level.
    • 4. Carry away the question paper part A, part B and part C.
    • 5. Last year Question paper & its solution for every centre registered for NGPE.

    The Practice:

    NGPE examination is conducted by Indian Association of Physics Teachers every year in the month of January throughout India from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Kachchh to Kohima at about 270 centres for Graduate students studying Physics.

    Outcomes: This examination provides an opportunity to an individual Physics student to Sharpen his/her hold on the subject & to assess the name at all India level.
