HBCSE Science Olympiad 2021-2022

The national Olympiad programme in science subjects culminating in the international Olympiads of 2022 has been disrupted by the COVID19 pandemic in the country. In view of the prevailing situation, the following decisions are announced.

In a departure from the usual three-stage procedure for the selection of the teams to represent India at the international Olympiads that has been followed in previous years, the selection procedure for the 2021-2022 cycle has been condensed to a two-stage process, similar to last year. The two stages in each subject will be:

A three-and-half hour two-part examination called the Indian Olympiad Qualifier (IOQ)

An Orientation-cum-Selection Camp (OCSC)

The IOQ in each subject will be a combination of two examinations, held in a single sitting for the examinee.

Part I: National Standard Examination (NSE): This will replace the standalone NSE of other years. The duration of this part will be 75 minutes and will consist of objective-type questions, similar in standard to the usual NSE. This part will be a screening examination for selective evaluation of the second part (INO) only and performance in this part will not play any role (except for possible tie-breaking scenarios) for the next level of selection (OCSC). This part of IOQ in different subjects will be called National Standard Examinations (NSEs) in Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Junior Science and Physics: NSEA, NSEB, NSEC, NSEJS and NSEP, respectively.
