NTA: Test Practice Centres (TPCs)

What is a Test Practice Centre (TPCs)?

The Ministry of Human Resource Development mandated the NTA to set up, establish and create a
network of Tests Practice Centres for candidates, especially in remote and rural areas to enable them to
practice and be comfortable in taking a Computer Based Test (CBT). This facility is completely free of
cost. Candidates can register online (on NTA website) where they are provided a convenient TPC near to
their location to practice on a given computer node. This facilitates and eases the process of being able to
take a Computer Based Test (CBT). The entire experience of using a computer is close to the actual
experience of taking a CBT. All efforts are made to provide practice tests and questions so that candidates
can familiarize themselves with logging into the system, go through the detailed instructions regarding the
test, use the mouse or numeric keyboard on screen (virtual) for attempting each question, scroll down to
the next question, navigate between questions, review and edit their options and submit questions.

The objective of TPCs is primarily to organize test practice for the upcoming NTA examinations.
