National Science Olympiad Programme (2026–2027)

The National Science Olympiad Programme (2026–2027) is a five-stage selection pathway in astronomy, biology, chemistry and physics that leads to participation in the International Olympiads in 2027. It begins with National Standard Examinations (NSEs) and progresses through Indian National Olympiads (INOs) and subsequent selection camps. The programme involves enrolment for NSE centres and student registration, followed by timed national examinations and further selection stages.

Progression through a multi-stage national selection process leading to possible selection for the Indian team to the International Olympiads in 2027; participation in INOs and subsequent training/selection camps.

See the current Science Olympiad eligibility page and the 2026-2027 brochure.

Enrolment via NSE centre registration (Aug 1–20, 2026) and student enrolment (Aug 21–Sep 14, 2026) through IAPT; students selected for INOs must register on the HBCSE website after publication of the selection list.
