About IJSO

Objective of IJSO
•  To stimulate the active interest of students in the natural sciences.
•    To promote their career as scientists.
•    To enhance and develop international contacts in the natural sciences.
•    To promote future scientific collaboration.
•    To encourage the formation of friendships within the scientific   community.
•    To offer the opportunity to compare the syllabi and educational trends in science education within the participating                  countries.

Stages
There are five stage process leading to IJSO.
1. NSEJS: National Standard Examination in Jun. Sc.
2. INJSO: Indian National Jr. Sc. Olympiad
3. OCSE: Orientation Cum Selection Camp
4. PDT: Pre-departure Training Camp
5. IJSO: International Junior Sc. Olympiad.

1. NSEJS: National Standard Examination in Jun. Sc.
The syllabus for NSEJS will be broadly  equivalent to the secondary school level (upto Class X) of CBSE.
Paper Pattern      : Objective
No. of Questions  :  80
Total Marks           : 240
Subjects                : Physics , Chemistry , Maths & Biology
Negative Marking  : -1
*All students who qualify to appear for INJSO get a certificate of merit from IAPT. 

2. INJSO: Indian National Jr. Sc. Olympiad
organized by HBCSE    olympiads.hbcse.tifr.res.in
Eligibility: Students selected from Stage I examination (NSEJS) are eligible to        appear      for INJSO.

 No. of Questions : 68
Subjects Covered : Physics , Chemistry & Biology
Total Marks : 300
Negative Marking : -1

Cut off marks : Result is directly sent to selected students
On the basis of performance in INJSO, the top 35 students in the merit list will be selected for Stage III: Orientation Cum Selection Camp (OCSC) in Junior Science.
In the event, there is a tie at the last position, all students with the same marks at this last position will qualify for OCSC in Junior Science.

3. OCSE: Orientation Cum Selection Camp
Organized by HBCSE sometime in April to June for 2-3 weeks.  
olympiads.hbcse.tifr.res.in
Eligibility for OCSC :
      Only the students selected from the merit list of Stage II (INJSO) will be eligible for OCSC in Junior Science.
•The camp will include several theoretical and experimental tests.   
•The merit list of OCSC  in Junior Science will be prepared on the basis of the combined theoretical and experimental score aggregated over all the tests in the camp, with 60% weightage for theory and 40% weightage for experiment.
 The 6 special merit awardees in Junior Science selected at the end of the OCSC 2015


4. PDT: Pre-departure Training Camp
The selected 6 member student team will undergo a rigorous training programme at HBCSE in theory and experiment. Special laboratories are being developed at HBCSE for the purpose of experimental training. Resource persons from HBCSE and different institutions across the country will train the students.


5. IJSO: International Junior Sc. Olympiad.
Participation in International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO)
The 6 student member team and 1 teacher leader will constitute the delegation to represent India at the International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO
The  IJSO is held in nearly month of December.
