Results of NTSE Stage I 2016-17 of most states are out, rest will have their results very soon. Congratulations to all those who have made it to NTSE Stage II.
Now the most important question emerging in your mind would be - 'How to prepare for NTSE Stage II ?'
NTSE Stage I belongs to State Board, so generally syllabus covered is from State Board (specially affects the questions asked in Social Science part) as well as CBSE board. Some of the States follow only CBSE Board syllabus
In NTSE Stage II only CBSE Board syllabus i.e. chapters of Class IX and X of NCERT book will be there (exceptionally a few questions in Science and Maths can be asked from Class XIth syllabus also). Second and most important thing NTSE Stage II will have NEGATIVE MARKING (1/3 marks would be deducted for every wrong answer) and the difficulty level of the questions will be much higher in comparison to NTSE Stage I paper. So be very careful while answering your questions, its better to leave doubtful questions. It's advised to go through the previous year's papers.
cut off for General Candidates - 85.09/150
cut off for SC Candidates - 56.43/150
cut off for ST Candidates -52.12/150
Last year's Cut off marks makes it very much clear that how attentive one must be while solving NTSE Stage II Paper.
Social Science (40 marks) is the second most important subject after MAT (50 marks), which will decide the outcomes in NTSE Stage II. But the problematic thing is most of the students who have cleared NTSE Stage I opt for science/maths subjects in class XI and are not much interested in studying Social Science for NTSE Stage II. This is the area where we have to be very cautious. Those students who will score maximum in these two subjects can be sure that they are making it to NTSE Scholars
Here I am presenting the paper analysis of NTSE Stage II (year 2013 to 2016), hope it will help you in better preparation of your NTSE Stage II paper

Keeping in mind the number of questions asked from Social Science section
15 from History (total 16 chapters), 15 from Geography (total 13 chapters), 5 from Civics (total 14 chapters) and 5 from Economics (total 9 chapters)
Priority must be given to History, Geography and Economics (just for 5 questions of Civics, emphasisng on 14 chapters doesn't makes much sense). Syllabus of class IX as well as class X should be given equal importance
Practice of map questions from Geography section is must
Hope this analysis will help you in better preparation of NTSE Stage II paper
Thanks very much..
