An Introduction to the Indian Science Olympiads

Olympiads are conducted by various educational organizations around the world. Mainly, Olympiads are

conducted as annual competitions for school students in subjects like Math, Science, Computers,

Astronomy, Philosophy, Social sciences, Linguistics, Earth science etc. The main objective of an Olympiad

is to evaluate a student’s subject in a particular subject. This also plays a key role in shaping students

future goals according to their interests. Along with evaluating a student, Olympiads also evaluates the

study methods adapted by several educational institutions.

Most popular Olympiads conducted in India are the International Mathematics Olympiad and the

National Science Olympiad conducted by Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF). These two Olympiads

gained the most popularity these days. Every year, thousands of students around the world apply for

Olympiads. Students from classes 2nd-12th can apply for the Olympiads conducted by SOF. The Science

Olympiad 2012 is also a great Olympiad apart from International Mathematics Olympiad and the

National Science Olympiad. The science Olympiad is conducted by Indira Gandhi National Open

University (IGNOU) in collaboration with the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural

Organization (UNESCO). This Olympiad is conducted for the students of Class XI in various south Asia

countries (India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal and Pakistan).

Olympiads are the best platforms for the young brains to test their skills. As the standard of an Olympiad

is high, the rewards also weigh fairly. The goodies the students can get ranges from PCs, laptops, mobile

phones, cash prizes along with fellowship access to a good university. Apart from that, each student who

attends the Olympiad gets a participation certificate according to the levels that they have passed.

Covering textbooks only doesn’t matters for attending an Olympiad; the student should know more than

what is printed in the textbooks. Along with their high standard skills, students also need to practice well

to do their best in the Olympiad. Students who wish to prepare and participate for such Olympiads must

improve their knowledge by reading good Olympiad guides.
