The selection for the award of scholarships under the scheme is done in two stages.

The written examination normally has two parts: Part-I Mental Ability Test (MAT) and Part-II Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). The States/UTs lay down their own norms for determining the eligibility of the candidates and publish the date of state level examination and other conditions at an appropriate time through the agency nominated by it.

The candidates studying in class X and desirous of appearing in the said examination may contact the Principal of the school in which they are studying or the Liaison Officer of the agency mentioned below in their own State/UT.

On the basis of State Level Examination each State/UT recommends a stipulated number of candidates to the NCERT for the second level examination. The Indian students studying abroad can also compete for Talent Search Award under certain conditions and can appear directly at the second level examination conducted by the Department of Educational Measurement & Evaluation, NCERT. The second stage selection involves both written examination (MAT and SAT) and face-to-face interview for the award of scholarship.
