International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO)
Junior Science
The International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) is a competitive examination open to students of all countries in the world, primarily studying in secondary schools. All basic subjects of Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics) are given roughly equal representation in the IJSO examination.
Beginning the year 2008-2009, the National Olympiad Programme includes Junior Science also.
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)
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.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.
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.
