The National Science Talent Contest (NSTC) is an annual event organized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) and the Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS). The NSTC aims to promote scientific knowledge and critical thinking among young students in Pakistan. The contest has been a great success over the years, with students from all over the country participating and showcasing their talents in various disciplines of science, including Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics.
The 20th National Science Talent Contest (NSTC-20) will be held in July 2024, and it is an opportunity for young students to showcase their skills and represent Pakistan in international science Olympiads.
