The Junior Science Olympiad selection process:

Stages

The Junior Science Olympiad program will follow the following 5 stages:

  • Stage I: National Standard Examination in Junior Science (NSEJS).
  • Stage II: Indian National Junior Science Olympiad (INJSO),
  • Stage III: Orientation cum Selection Camp (OCSC) in junior science,
  • Stage IV: Pre-departure Training Camp (PDT) for IJSO,
  • Stage V: Participation in International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO).

Stage I will be entirely the responsibility of IAPT. All the remaining stages will be organized by the HBCSE.

The detailed information about eligibility and structure of the stages is given below:

Stage I: National Standard Examination in Junior Science (NSEJS)

NSEJS is the first stage of selection of students in the Junior Science Olympiad Programme. NSEJS is organised by the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT). Every student aspiring to go through successive stages of the programme must enroll for NSEJS. NSEJS is held at a large number of centres in the country.

Date of NSEJS 2011: 27 November 2011 (Sunday)
Time of NSEJS 2011: 03:00 pm to 05:00 pm
Last Date for Enrollment for NSEJS: 15 September 2011

Eligibility (NSEJS):

All Indian students who are born on or after January 1, 1997 and, in addition, are in Class X or lower as of November 30, 2011, are eligible to appear in NSEJS 2011 – 2012. If they qualify in the NSEJS, they will be eligible for subsequent stages leading to participation in International Junior Science Olympiad 2012.

It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the eligibility criteria are satisfied. In case at any stage of the program it is found that the student does not satisfy the eligibility criteria, he/she may be disqualified from the program.

Syllabus:

The syllabus for NSEJS will be broadly equivalent to the secondary school level (upto Class X) of CBSE. The different basic subjects of science (physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics) will have roughly equal emphasis.

This is only a broad guideline, and there is no detailed syllabus given for NSEJS.

Question Paper:

NSEJS will emphasize comprehension of the subject, not rote memory. Its format will be as follows:

The question paper will consist of 80 multiple choice questions, each with only one of the four options correct.

Language : English.

Qualifying for the Second Stage:

Based on performance in NSEJS, the top 300 students in order of merit qualify to appear for the Second Stage of the Olympiad programme INJSO. In case there is a tie at the last position, all students with the same marks at this last position qualify for INJSO.

All students who qualify to appear for INJSO get a certificate of merit from IAPT.
