The Bihar Council on Science and Technology, under the state's science and technology education department, is organising free talent search examinations for meritorious students from classes 6 to 12. The Srinivasa Ramanujan Talent Search Test in Mathematics-2026 and the Sir CV Raman Talent Search Test in Science-2027 will be held on the occasion of National Mathematics Day-2026 and National Science Day-2027 respectively.
Online applications opened on 24 October and will close on 18 November. Candidates can download their admit cards by 24 November. The exams are tentatively scheduled for 24, 25 and 26 November, with each candidate appearing on one of these days. The test will be conducted online at government engineering colleges and polytechnic institutes across all districts of Bihar.
Each exam will contain 25 objective-type questions worth four marks each. Detailed information, guidelines and admit cards will be available on the official website of the Bihar Council on Science and Technology and the department's website.
The exams target students from class 6 to class 12, a wide age band that lets the council identify talent early and at the senior school level in one go. The free registration removes a cost barrier that might keep capable students from applying. Holding the tests at government engineering colleges and polytechnics in every district makes access easier for rural candidates. The council has not yet announced the number of scholarships or awards for top performers, leaving a key incentive unstated. The scheduled dates are tentative and may change, so applicants must monitor the council's website for updates.
