Why should you become a part of NSTC?
A wonderful Answer by Miss. Fatima Khurram (National Biology Talent Contest-3, Represented Pakistan in IBO in Canada)
Ten Things about NSTC: an Insider’s View
1. Like they say at the introductory presentations, NSTC isn't all about studying. NSTC is a lot about making friends, meeting people, gaining experience and of course having good, plain fun! (Please bear in mind that all this is secondary to the study during the camps. If you study well enough then you can have all the fun you want!)
2. Getting into NSTC isn't that easy. You don't need to be a master in just one subject, because you're screened on the basis of your performance in all subjects (as minor subjects) and in the subject of your choice (as a major subject). So you need to be severely, and seriously, the best in Pakistan to get selected
3. The camps conducted in NSTC aren't just about judging how well you understand concepts. The people at NSTC have a rather different approach. They judge you for, apart from your performance in theoretical tests, your confidence, class participation, discipline, and commitment. NSTC is not another rote-learning promotion program
4. Among others, a motive NSTC has is to encourage students towards research and specialization in their subjects. During the time at NSTC, all students have experienced a broadening of horizons. NSTC enables students to think and grow beyond the normal boundaries of stereotypical education.
5. The competition you will face at NSTC is going to be extremely rigorous, but at the same time friendly. NSTC encourages students to study in groups, sharing and exchanging knowledge
6. The study at NSTC is extremely conceptual, enabling students to participate competitively in the respective Olympiads. Besides, the experience offers tremendous assistance in higher and professional studies.
7. NSTC is a purely merit-based campaign; your connections with ministers and the likes won't help you here!
8. Being in NSTC is going to be extremely useful for your future plans. Any university you apply to, will take NSTC on your résumé as a major plus point.
9. Being a part of NSTC is a great experience. The NSTC alumni are all like a family; to quote an alumnus, "NSTC isn't a one-time thing. It's a lifetime commitment”. Once you're in, you don't want out.
