National Anveshika Experimental Skill Test

Description

Experiments are integral part of science. History shows how careful observations and suitably designed experiments have changed the course of human development in all aspects. To promote these skills among students, National Anveshika Network of India (NANI), a unit of Indian Association of physics Teachers, conducts a competition NAEST (National Anveshika Experimental Skill Test) based on Physics Experiments each year since 2014. This is probably the only test of its kind in India.
