What is the minimum number of students required to register for NGSE to get a center in our school?

Participating School will be the host for NGSE Mains subject to a minimum of 100 students from the school. In an unlikely event of a school having less than 100 participants, the nearest center may be allocated by National Genius Search Foundation. However, relatively new schools can get their school as a center even if the number of participants are less than 100, provided they take prior permission.

Can I register my child register directly (not though school) for the NGSE? Where she / he can get the center allotted?

From AY 2013-14 onwards direct individual registrations are not allowed due to logistic constraints. Parents / Students are requested to persuade their schools to participate.
