From school registration to verified certificates

This quick start guide explains the complete NCATS process for schools, students and members of the public. Follow the steps in order for the smoothest experience.

Start registration

Complete process

Every school follows the same secure journey from registration through results and certificates.

Register the institution

Open the school registration form and enter accurate institution, contact and representative information.

  • Use an active email address.
  • Keep the school mobile number available.
  • Create a strong password.
Open registration

Verify and submit

Complete Google reCAPTCHA and enter the email verification code. Review every field before final submission.

  • Check spam/junk if the code is delayed.
  • Never share a verification code.
  • Submit only one application per school.

Wait for account approval

NCATS reviews the submitted institution details. The school receives an activation or credentials email when access is ready.

  • Keep the registration email safely.
  • Contact NCATS only if approval is unusually delayed.

Sign in to the school portal

Use the school ID, username or registered email together with the account password.

  • Use Forgot Password when needed.

Add coordinators and students

Add the responsible coordinator for each contest, then add students manually or import the official spreadsheet sample.

  • Review names, grades and contests carefully.
  • Save drafts before final submission.
  • Avoid duplicate student rows.

Submit registration and fee

Final student submission creates the invoice. Download it, make payment using the approved method and upload a clear payment proof.

  • Use the exact invoice reference.
  • Upload JPG, PNG or PDF proof.
  • Wait for administrator confirmation.

Review published results

When NCATS publishes a contest result, the school can view or download it from My Results in the portal.

  • Select the correct session year.
  • Report a data issue promptly.

Download or verify certificates

Issued certificates are available to the school. Any person can verify a certificate using its unique number or QR/barcode link.

  • A revoked or unknown number is not valid.
  • Use the public verifier for authenticity.

Common questions

Fast answers for the most frequent user issues.

I did not receive a verification email.

Wait a few minutes, check Spam or Junk, confirm the email address is correct, and request a new code only after the previous attempt has expired.

Can I edit students after final submission?

Drafts can be changed before submission. After submission or activation, some changes may require NCATS administrator approval to protect invoice and result records.

Why is my payment still unpaid?

Uploading proof does not automatically mark an invoice paid. An accounts administrator reviews the proof and then confirms payment.

How do I know a certificate is genuine?

Scan its QR/barcode or enter the certificate number on the public verification page. The verification record must show a valid issued certificate.
