Puzzled with what is an Olympiad, what are its stages and benefits and how to apply..??
Read the following to gain insights.
What are the Olympiads?
International Olympiads in Science and Mathematics are the world championships for school students held every year in a different country.
The most famous Olympiads are The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), The International Physics Olympiad (IPhO), The International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO), The International Biology Olympiad (IBO), The International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) and The International Astronomy Olympiad (IAO).
Countries send a delegation of students and leaders to participate at the International level. India conducts National Olympiads to identify the best students who can represent India at the international level.
STAGE I – NATIONAL STANDARD EXAMINATION (NSE) IN PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, ASTRONOMY, JUNIOR SCIENCE ORGANIZED BY IAPT
Every student aspiring to go through successive stages of the Olympiad programme must enroll for NSE. NSEs are held at a large number of centres in the country usually in the last week of November. All students of Class XII or below (science stream) are eligible to appear for NSEs. A student may appear for more than one Olympiad as per the examination schedule. Students who have passed Class XII are not eligible.
Astronomy: For the Junior level, students should be in Class IX. For the Senior level, students should be in Class X or Class XI. NSE emphasizes comprehension of the subject, not rote memory.
STAGE II – INDIAN NATIONAL OLYMPIAD EXAMINATIONS
For Indian National Olympiad Examinations, the national top 200-250 students selected from NSEP, NSEC, NSEB and NSEA each are eligible to appear for Indian National Physics Olympiad (INPhO), Indian National Chemistry Olympiad (INChO), Indian National Biology Olympiad (INBO) and Indian National Astronomy Olympiad (INAO) respectively.
Indian National Olympiads are held sometime in the last week of January or early February. These examinations are held at about 16 Centres in the country.
Questions and problems in National Olympiads are usually non-conventional and of high difficulty level, comparable to the International Olympiads. On the basis of performance in the National Olympiads (theory) about 50 students are short-listed in each subject.
STAGE III – ORIENTATION CUM SELECTION CAMP (OCSC)
BIOLOGY, PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY
The selected group of students in different subjects will be invited to the Orientation Cum Selection Camps at HBCSE. These camps are typically of two to three weeks duration in each subject. The camps include several theoretical and experimental tests. Orientation is provided to students especially for the experimental tests. A camp concludes with a valedictory function where distinguished scientists are invited to speak to the students. On the basis of their performance in OCSC the top 5 students in Physics, top 4 in Chemistry and top 4 in Biology will be declared to be special merit awardees. These special merit awardees are given a prize each in the form of books and cash. In addition there will be special prizes in each subject to recognize meritorious performance in theory and experiments. The 5 special merit awardees in Physics constitute the 5-member student team to represent India at the International Physics Olympiad. The 4 special merit awardees in Chemistry constitute the 4-member student team to represent India at the International Chemistry Olympiad. The 4 special merit awardees in Biology constitute the 4-member student team to represent India at the International Biology Olympiad (IBO).
ASTRONOMY
Since HBCSE is academically involved in the hosting of the 10th International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA) in Bhubaneswar in 2016, the second stage (INAO) examination, the third stage (OCSC-Astronomy) and the fourth stage (Training of the Indian team for IOAA 2016) will be organized by a different organisation (to be announced later). The selected group of students in Astronomy will be invited to the Orientation Cum Selection Camp. The camp is of about three weeks duration. The camp includes several theoretical, data analysis and observation tests. Students are trained in basic concepts in astronomy and astrophysics during the camp. Orientation is provided to students especially for problem-solving in astronomy, astrophysics and for observational astronomy tests. The camp concludes with a valedictory function where distinguished scientists are invited to speak to the students. On the basis of the performance in OCSC, the top 5 students will be declared special merit awardees. These special merit awardees will be given a prize each in the form of books and cash. In addition there will be special certificates to recognize meritorious performance in theory, data analysis and observation.
JUNIOR SCIENCE
The selected group of students from INJSO will be invited to the Orientation Cum Selection Camp at HBCSE. The camp is of two to three weeks duration. The camp includes several theoretical and experimental tests. Orientation is provided to students especially for the experimental tests. The camp concludes with a valedictory function where distinguished scientists are invited to speak to the students. On the basis of their performance in OCSC the top 6 students will be declared to be special merit awardees. These special merit awardees will be given a prize each in the form of books and cash. The 6 special merit awardees will constitute the 6-member student team to represent India at the International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO).
STAGE IV – TRAINING OF INDIAN TEAMS FOR INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIADS
The selected Indian teams undergo a rigorous training program at HBCSE in theory and experiment.
STAGE V – PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIADS
- The 5-member student team, 2 teacher leaders and one scientific observer constitute the delegation to represent India at the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO)
- The 4-member student team, 2 teacher leaders and one scientific observer constitute the delegation to represent India at the International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO)
- The 4-member student team, 2 teacher leaders and one scientific observer constitute the delegation to represent India at the International Biology Olympiad (IBO)
- The 5-member student team, 2 teacher leaders and one scientific observer constitute the delegation to represent India at the International Astronomy Olympiad (IAO).
- The 5-member student team, 2 teacher leaders and one scientific observer constitute the delegation to represent India at the International Astronomy Olympiad (IAO).
- The 6-member student team, 3 teacher leaders and one scientific observer constitute the delegation to represent India at the International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO).
WHEN AND HOW SHOULD I START PREPARING FOR THE OLYMPIADS?
The Olympiads are the most prestigious school competitions in the world. Students have to go through a rigorous process to be selected for the Indian team. Students selected to represent the country get an opportunity to compete and win prizes at an International level.
Students who represent India in the International Olympiads in Physics / Chemistry /Mathematics / Informatics and Astronomy automatically qualify for KVPY Fellowship. Organisations like Infoysys, Sasken, NASSCOM etc. also give prizes to the participants and winners of the International Olympaids.
Usually students appear for the Olympiads in Class XI but brilliant students can appear for the stage I exam even in lower classes and increase their number of attempts and even their medal tally as they can participate in the International Olympiads till they reach Class XII.
To help students excel in Olympiads, FIITJEE has various programs available depending on which class the student is studying in.
Congratulations to all FIITJEEans for the incredible results..!!
All the best from the FIITJEE team for the Stage II – Indian National Olympiad Examinations..!!

Now let’s read some of the Testimonials given by our FIITJEE Students on what really made them clear the Olympiads Stage I Aptitude Test and also their advice to the future Olympiads aspirants:
Harini Saraswathy of 2 years Pinnacle Program says,
“The organized pattern of practice tests we write helps us to become attuned to the often stressful atmosphere to which we are subject while writing competitive examinations such as Olympiads. The various Chap tests, Phase tests, AITs, etc all play a major role in ensuring that we are exam ready on all fronts. The study materials and practice problems supplied in the form of packages and archives provide us exposure to a wide variety questions, both conceptual as well as application based. All these were the primary reason behind my clearing exams such as Olympiads.”
Shriram of Pinnacle integrated program says,
“I cleared all three Olympiads conducted by IAPT (NSEP, NSEC and NSEA). FIITJEE’s coaching was extremely helpful. The pattern resembled Chap tests which contained many questions to solve in limited time (2 hrs). Practice in FIITJEE helped for that. Solving archives, GMP and previous exam papers were useful. Concentrate on your concepts and the application of concepts in questions with maximum speed and accuracy. All the best!”
Raghu Raman of 2 Years Pinnacle Program says,
“I am studying in FIITJEE from 6th grade I was able to clear NSEC, NSEP and NSEA. I was able to achieve this by solving previous year papers, attending mock test conducted by FIITJEE and by solving tab assignments regularly. “
Santhosh Sriram of 4 years Pinnacle Program says,
“I am studying in FIITJEE from 9th grade. I was able to clear NSEC because of the motivation given by my FIITJEE faculties. I suggest all the students to trust the faculties and prepare properly according to the instructions given. “
