Understanding PWNSAT

PW NSAT is a national-level scholarship and admission test conducted by Physics Wallah for students from classes 6 to 12 and droppers aspiring for JEE and NEET. It offers up to 100% scholarships and is held both online and offline, typically in October. The exam aims to make quality education accessible, especially for economically weaker students.

What is the PWNSAT exam pattern and marking scheme?

PW NSAT (Physics Wallah National Scholarship cum Admission Test) is structured as a multiple-choice question (MCQ) exam, for different academic levels and streams. For students in classes 6 to 9, the test comprises 40 questions distributed as follows: 8 from Physics, 7 each from Chemistry and Biology, 10 from Mathematics, and 8 from Mental Ability/IQ. 

Class 10 students face 40 questions as well, but the composition depends on their chosen track: JEE aspirants answer questions from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Mental Ability, while NEET aspirants tackle Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mental Ability. For those in classes 11 and 12 aiming for JEE, the exam includes 30 questions—10 each from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. NEET aspirants in classes 11 and 12 encounter 60 questions, with 15 each from Physics and Chemistry, and 30 from Biology. 

The exam duration is 60 minutes for all levels, and each correct answer is awarded four marks. Importantly, there is no negative marking, allowing students to attempt all questions without penalty. This structure ensures a fair assessment of students’ conceptual understanding and exam readiness across different grades and competitive tracks, aligning closely with the NCERT curriculum.

What is the PWNSAT syllabus?

The PWNSAT syllabus is based on the NCERT chapters relevant to each class and stream:

Classes 6–9: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Mental Ability.

Class 10: JEE (PCM + Mental Ability), NEET (PCB + Mental Ability).

Classes 11–12: JEE (PCM), NEET (Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology)

How to Prepare for PW NSAT in 30 Days

To prepare effectively for the PW NSAT in 30 days, begin by thoroughly understanding the class-wise syllabus and exam pattern, as the test is tailored to your academic level and stream, covering core subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, and Mental Ability, all aligned with the NCERT curriculum.

Use NCERT textbooks and PW Vidyapeeth study materials to build strong conceptual clarity in each subject. Start your preparation with a diagnostic test to identify your strengths and weaknesses, which will help you focus your efforts more efficiently.
