National Benchmark Tests, NBT Online Application and Registration
The National Benchmark Tests, NBT project under the auspices of the Centre for Educational Testing for Access and Placement, CETAP registration is date and venue specific. If you miss your scheduled test, you must re-register and pay again. You will be able to access your results only if you have paid for any tests for which you were registered.

NBT Remote Writers
A remote writer/student is someone who is unable to write at an institution that generally facilitates the national benchmark test sessions.
Usually, it is a writer who is in another country or in an area too remote to be able to make a trip of a reasonable distance to the nearest testing center.
Procedures
- The responsibilities of the writer/examinee are to:
- Make arrangements for testing with the test proctor/invigilator according to the test due date;
- Maintain test security and confidentiality;
- Carry out any reasonable and legitimate instructions given by the proctor/invigilator
- The Writer/ Student is responsible for all payments such as proctor/invigilator, courier, venue, and test.
- When we receive the proctor’s/invigilator’s details we will communicate with him/her directly via the e-mail address provided. It is the writer’s responsibility to stay in touch with the proctor/invigilator.
