A Talk about an Exam Bigger than IITJEE | HC Verma Sir & Ashish Arora Sir

What if there was an exam even more meaningful than IIT-JEE for shaping a true engineer? In this powerful and insightful conversation, two legendary physics educators, Ashish Arora Sir and HC Verma Sir, come together to discuss a revolutionary initiative in science education — the NAEST (National Anveshika Experimental Skill Test). Conceptualized by HC Verma Sir, NAEST is not just another exam; it is a movement aimed at transforming how students learn and experience physics. Registration link of NAEST Exam - https://naest.shiksha-sopan.org While traditional exams often emphasize theoretical problem-solving, NAEST focuses on something far more fundamental — experimental skills. Ashish Arora Sir beautifully explains how this exam is designed to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application. It encourages students to think like scientists, observe like researchers, and experiment like innovators. The exam is conducted in four thoughtfully structured rounds, each pushing students to develop deeper practical understanding and hands-on skills. From basic observations to complex experimental setups, students gradually build confidence and competence that go far beyond textbook learning. These experiences nurture curiosity, precision, analytical thinking, and creativity — qualities that define exceptional engineers. This discussion highlights an important perspective: cracking exams like IIT-JEE is important, but becoming a skilled and capable engineer requires much more than solving numerical problems. NAEST aims to instill that “something more” — the ability to explore, experiment, and truly understand physics at a fundamental level. Ashish Arora Sir emphasizes how students who go through this process gain a lifelong advantage. The practical mindset and experimental approach they develop continue to benefit them throughout their engineering journey and even in their professional careers. These are the skills that help individuals not just succeed academically, but also innovate and lead in real-world challenges. Whether you are a JEE aspirant, a physics enthusiast, or someone passionate about learning beyond books, this conversation will inspire you to rethink your approach to education. Watch this video to discover why NAEST could be one of the most important steps in shaping the next generation of engineers. #NAEST #Physics #HCVerma #AshishArora #ExperimentalLearning #iitjee
