Mumbai, 3rd Jan 2021: Association of Muslim Professionals (AMP), a pan-India NGO, working for more than a decade, in the domains of Education, Employment Assistance & Economic Empowerment organized the AMP National Talent Search Exam- 2020 today for College going students.

1. For Junior College Students (XI & XII)
2. For Senior/Degree College Students (Undergrads)
Aamir Edresy, president-AMP, said “Organizing this National Talent Search Exam for Junior & Senior Undergrad students was an exhilarating experience. There were registrations from 550+ Cities & Districts and all the States of India, thanks to the 24×7 involvement for 1 month of our Team AMP from 100+ Chapters across the country.”
He further said that this Exam will go a long way in helping students prepare for the various upcoming competitive exams in 2021.
Prof. Syed Khaleel Ahmed, Project Lead – NTS 2020 and a Trainer & Mentor for the last 30 years said “It was a matter of great challenge organizing the AMP National Talent Search Exam 2020. We had to reach out to Institutions & College students nationally to ensure that there was maximum participation. The other challenge was to design the exam covering all the syllabus topics for the 2 categories separately. However, I am extremely pleased to say that this exam will be a great help for the students to test their knowledge and competitiveness.”
Razak Shaikh, Head – AMP projects said that AMP’s vision is to create a Society which is advanced in Education and socially progressive and hence our projects and activities are aimed to make the Students competitive and up-to-date with the challenges of the real world. The #COVID-19 pandemic didn’t dampen our spirit, instead, we took up the Challenge and carried our projects to a larger audience through online activities like this National Talent Search exam.
The NTS Exam was scheduled from 11 am until 12.30 pm for Junior College students and from 2 pm up to 3.30 pm for Senior College students (Undergraduates). This exam was conducted online by AMP Central Team in conjunction with our Chapters nationally. Totally 40000+ students from all over the Country including 550+ Cities and all the States appeared for the exams.

The exam was conducted online for 90 min. and consisted of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) of 100 marks. The marking will be based on the time taken to answer each question.
