So, thought this thread seems a little inactive, I’m going to pipe in yet again
It’s been a little frustrating trying to contact my NC via email… There’s just one person manning the address and while I’m sure they are a good administrator, they just don’t answer my questions. Maybe I would have better luck phoning in?

But what I have learnt about the National Committee of India (after a lot of effort!) is:

–They allow candidates to apply twice. Once in grade X and once in grade XI.
–While CBSE policy is that students must take the board exam if they will change board to finish high school, the NC of India will accept the internal (school-conducted) exam.
–If you are eligible to apply through two NCs, choose the NC of the country you live in. If you can’t make it to the interviews you don’t stand a chance of getting in.

Questions I’ve asked that are still pending:
–What documents are necessary to start an application - how many references, mark-sheets, essays etc. do we need to upload?
–Does the committee accept any reference other than one from the Head of School? (my school is massive, she doesn’t even know me!)

Come on guys, contribute!
