RMO is the first stage of the Mathematics Olympiad Program. If you are interested in appearing for Regional Mathematics Olympiad you should contact the Regional Coordinator of your region. (Please click ' List of RMO Coordinators').

Enrollment for Science and Astronomy Olympiads

Stage 1 National Standard Examinations (NSE) in physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy and junior science: NSEP, NSEC, NSEB, NSEA and NSEJS respectively.

NSEP, NSEC, NSEB, NSEA and NSEJS is the first stage of the Olympiad Program in the respective subject.

Note: From the year 2010-11, HBCSE will not be responsible for organizing and sending the team to International Astronomy Olympiad-Junior (IAO - Jr) and hence, there is no separate NSEA (Jr.) examination. Indian participation in IAO (Jr) may be organized by a different government agency and formal announcement regarding the same maybe be made in due course. Students interested in participating in IAO (Jr.) are advised to appear for NSEJS 2010.

To enroll for NSEs, find out whether your school/college is a registered centre from the principal and/or the head of department. (Each registered centre may be an examination centre for all the five subjects). If so, enroll your name by paying the required fees by the due date. Your school/college will give you all the necessary instructions pertaining to NSEs.

If your school/college is not a Registered NSE Centre, look for a nearby Registered NSE Centre for enrollment. It may help if you visit IAPT website. This website displays the list of centres registered last year. There may be a few additions/deletions in the list of centres in the current year. If you have any queries about NSEs or if you have any difficulty in getting enrolled for these examinations, you should contact the following persons:
