Three sciences, connected by application.
The level is broadly Class X, but successful preparation requires concepts to be used in unfamiliar situations—not memorised as isolated lines.
Physics
Motion, forces, energy, sound, electricity, magnetism, light and measurement.
View Physics topics → CChemistry
Matter, atoms, reactions, acids and bases, metals, carbon and periodic ideas.
View Chemistry topics → BBiology
Cells, diversity, life processes, heredity, health, environment and resources.
View Biology topics →Understand systems, then calculate.
Physics questions reward clear diagrams, units, proportional reasoning and the ability to connect a law with a real situation.
Motion and graphs
Distance and displacement, speed and velocity, acceleration, uniform and non-uniform motion, distance–time and velocity–time graphs, equations of motion and circular motion.
Force, Newton’s laws and momentum
Inertia, mass, force and acceleration, action–reaction, momentum and elementary conservation of momentum.
Gravitation, pressure and floatation
Universal gravitation, gravity and free fall, mass versus weight, thrust, pressure, Archimedes’ principle, buoyancy and relative density.
Work, energy, power and sound
Work done by a force, kinetic and potential energy, conservation of energy, power, sound propagation, reflection, echo, ultrasound and the human ear.
Electricity and magnetism
Current, potential difference, resistance and resistivity, Ohm’s law, series and parallel combinations, heating and power, magnetic fields, motors, electromagnetic induction and generators.
Light and the human eye
Reflection and refraction, spherical mirrors and lenses, formulas and magnification, prisms, dispersion, scattering, vision defects and corrections.
Move between particles and observations.
Chemistry becomes easier when every visible change is connected to particles, equations, energy or reactivity.
Matter and its behaviour
States and changes of state, density, elements, compounds and mixtures, solutions and concentration, colloids, suspensions and separation methods.
Atoms, molecules and the mole
Atomic and molecular masses, laws of chemical combination, mole–mass–particle relationships, subatomic particles, valency, formulas, isotopes and isobars.
Chemical reactions
Writing and balancing equations, combination, decomposition, displacement, double displacement, precipitation, neutralisation, oxidation and reduction.
Acids, bases and salts
Ions, common properties, pH and daily-life applications, plus important compounds such as sodium hydroxide, bleaching powder, baking soda, washing soda and Plaster of Paris.
Metals and non-metals
Physical and chemical properties, reactivity series, ionic compounds, basic metallurgy, corrosion and its prevention.
Carbon and periodic classification
Covalent bonding, homologous series, functional groups, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, key reactions, ethanol and ethanoic acid, soaps, detergents and periodic trends.
Connect structure, function and environment.
Biology questions often combine more than one chapter. Build mechanisms and relationships instead of memorising disconnected terms.
Cells, tissues and organisation
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, membranes and walls, organelles, chromosomes, plant and animal tissues, organs and organ systems.
Diversity of living organisms
Scientific naming and classification, hierarchy, major plant groups and major animal groups from non-chordates through vertebrate classes.
Life processes
Nutrition, respiration, transport and excretion in plants and animals, plus control and coordination through nervous systems and hormones.
Reproduction, heredity and evolution
Asexual and sexual reproduction, reproductive health, Mendelian inheritance, sex determination and elementary ideas of evolution.
Health, disease and environment
Infectious and non-infectious diseases, prevention and treatment principles, air, water and soil, pollution, ozone, ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles.
Resources and food production
Energy sources, conservation, forests and wildlife, water harvesting, sustainable resource management, crop and animal improvement, manures, fertilisers, pests and organic farming.
A syllabus is useful only when it changes the week.
Start with foundations, add mixed application and test under time. Repeat the cycle with progressively harder questions.
Choose a benchmark paperClarify the level before choosing resources.
Is Class X NCERT Science enough for NSEJS?
It is an essential foundation, but the examination expects deeper application, unfamiliar situations and mixed concepts. Past papers show the additional problem-solving level more accurately than a chapter list alone.
Does NSEJS contain Mathematics?
There is no separate Mathematics section, but calculations, algebraic manipulation, ratios, graphs and data interpretation appear throughout Physics and Chemistry.
Should Class 8 students study the full Class X syllabus?
A Class 8 student should first secure current-school concepts, then progressively cover the Class IX and X foundations needed for the examination. Depth and consistency matter more than rushing through every heading.
How should Biology be revised?
Use diagrams, flowcharts and mechanism-based recall. Mix classification, physiology, heredity and environment questions so that knowledge can be retrieved outside chapter order.
Measure the syllabus against an original paper.
Use the 2025 or 2024 paper as a baseline, score it honestly and identify the first two topics that need focused repair.
NSEJS.com is not the official IAPT examination website. The latest official notice always takes priority.
Registration notice checked 16 September 2026: the IAPT portal lists student enrolment through 16 September 2026. Later official notices take priority.
The brochure contains the original schedule; use the current portal notice for the revised enrolment deadline.Choose a weak topic, study the worked solution and try another question before attempting your next timed paper.
