What is CNTS?

Courage National Talent Search (CNTS) is an assessment platform that evaluates aptitude, critical reasoning, and analytical skills for students in Classes 5–8 across India. Beyond test delivery, the system operates as a comprehensive B2B2C registration engine that enables school partners, parents, students, and system admins to manage accounts, process bulk Excel uploads, track quotas, verify digital certifications, and handle secure payment gateways.

Handling High-Scale Educational Ingestion

Building nationwide exam portals introduces challenges such as database locking during bulk registrations, duplicate transactions, security vulnerabilities, and mobile accessibility limitations in rural schools with weak bandwidth.

School Sponsorships

Schools require unique access keys (PINs) to enroll batches. Built a robust system to track quota limits and prevent concurrency errors.

Role-Based Access

The platform separates dashboards for Student, Parent, School, and Admin views with secure JWT cookie layers.

Verification Security

Certificates feature automated QR validation codes, allowing educational institutions to verify scores instantly via mobile scanning.

Payment Consistency

Razorpay webhooks guarantee candidates are registered only when payments complete, eliminating order discrepancy loops.

Key Operational Modules

Student dashboard

Provides multi-step registration pipelines, mocks, admit cards, result metrics, and support ticket panels.

School Partnership System

Onboarding tools let schools invite students via custom link tracking and bulk upload lists from Excel.

Administrative Console

An analytics dashboard for coupon management, student verification status logs, and transactional graphs.
