Why is the CNTS exam fee only ₹99?
In India, conceptual cognitive test reports usually cost ₹1,500 to ₹5,000. Most parents cannot afford this high barrier of entry.

Reduced Fee (Sponsor Backed)
Supported by the Courage Library Foundation to help students discover their natural talents across India.
Pay Only Once
A single ₹99 fee covers registration, practice papers, the main online exam, and the Brain Strength Report.
No Extra Sales
We do not sell books, courses, or coaching classes later. Our only goal is to evaluate your child's strengths.

Questions? We've got
clear answers.
Everything parents and students ask before registering.

No. Most Olympiads rank students by memorizing facts from textbooks. CNTS is different — it tests your child's logic, reasoning, and thinking ability. It shows how they solve problems, not just what they remember.
CNTS is available in both Hindi and English. Students can select their preferred language at the time of registration. All questions are reviewed by bilingual educational experts.
Results are published online within 21 days. You will get a Detailed Brain Strength Report (PDF) directly in your email and Parent Dashboard, showing their national rank, subject-wise logic scores, strength areas, and learning tips.
Yes. CNTS provides a detailed syllabus and an interactive Learning Academy — all free on the platform. The Academy includes bilingual lessons, flashcard drills, and solved examples across Reasoning, Mathematics, Language, and Critical Thinking. The best preparation is understanding reasoning concepts, not memorizing facts.
Unlike regular exams that only give marks, CNTS gives a Detailed Brain Strength Report. It tests thinking skills in 6 key areas, lets you choose English or Hindi, and gives you clear tips to help your child grow.
Students can register individually — school participation is not required. However, we encourage parents to share the School Partnership page with their principal so the whole school benefits.
