NSEJS Physics Paper: Analysis, Reference Materials And Tips

Updated on Sep 29, 2022 04:16 PM IST

The National Standard Examination In Junior Science(NSEJS) is conducted every year. Toppers of NSEJS can attend the National olympiad and then topper students of National olympiad can attend the International Olympiad in Junior Science. The NSEJS syllabus and eligibility are available on their official website-https://www.iapt.org.in. The NSEJS syllabus is mainly based on the Class 9 and 10 CBSE Science.

NSEJS Physics Paper: Analysis, Reference Materials And Tips

Usually Mathematics is included in the NSEJS exam. This year's brochure does not mention Mathematics. Only Physics, Chemistry and Biology with equal weightage.

A total of 60 questions will be asked. Part A has 48 objective questions with one correct answer. These 48 questions will carry three marks and one negative mark will be awarded for wrong answers. Part B has 12 questions with more than one correct answer. This will carry six marks for the correct answer. To get the credit of six all the correct options should be marked. No negative marking for six mark questions.

Physics NSEJS Mark Distribution

A total of six NSEJS previous year papers are analysed. The Physics part of NSEJS is divided into 11 chapters. Some basic mathematics questions are in the physics part based on linear graphs or equations of the straight line. This is included as the first chapter in the analysis. See the chapterwise mark distribution of NSEJS Physics below.

NSEJS Physics Syllabus Chapter wise Weightage

Chapter	Total Mark
Basic Mathematics	6
Electricity	72
Force and Laws of Motion	15
Gravitation	36
Human Eye and Colourful World	3
Light Reflection and Refraction	51
Magnetic Effects of Electric Current	18
Motion	15
Sound	15
Thermal Properties of matter	15
Work and Energy	42

Based on the weightage mark the important chapters from Physics part of NSEJS syllabus are Electricity, Light, Work Energy And Power and Gravitation. For the analysis purpose questions related to oscillations and SHM are included in Work And Energy. And the Chapter Thermal Properties Of Matter can be studied using the Class 11 Physics book.
