That is to say, the assessment has three question papers: the first and second rounds are taken during the first week of December on the same day and the final session on a different day, normally in the following week. The NPC-SL18 sessions 1 and 2 are both multiple choice question papers carrying 50 questions each. The time allocation for each of these papers is 90 minutes. Only those who will succeed in session 2 will proceed onto the final session, session 3. Session 3 is considered the toughest session. It consists of 100 multiple choice questions marked out of 500 marks. Each correct answer carries 5 marks and 3 marks will be deducted for every wrong answer. It is a highly demanding exam. The results will be published in the same month, but the prizes and special awards for the winning candidates will be awarded in January of the next coming year. Only top three candidates will be declared the winning candidates. The cash prizes are very lucrative and the special awards are highly valued. In addition to these top three wining candidates, all the participates with an average score above 90% will be recognized and all the candidates with an average score above 95% will receive some special recognition.
