INDIAN COMPUTING OLYMPIAD
Itis a nationwide competition organized annually by IARCS (Indian Association for Research in Computing Science) in coordination with CBSE. The goal of the competition is to identify school students with outstanding skills in algorithms and computer programming.

Eligibility :The Indian Computing Olympiad is open to all school students across the country, from any school board.

The Indian Computing Olympiad is used to select the team of four students to represent India at the International Olympiad for Informatics (IOI). IOI is one of the six prominent Science Olympiads held annually. The other five Science Olympiads are held in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Astronomy. IOI-2010 will be held in Waterloo, Canada in August, 2010.

The first round of the Indian Computing Olympiad is in two parts :

Zonal Informatics Olympiad (ZIO): It is a written exam that is held at centres across the country around November-December.
In addition to ZIO, students can also also qualify for the second round by taking part in the Zonal Computing Olympiad (ZCO), an online programming contest, held soon after ZIO.

The second round, the Indian National Olympiad in Informatics (INOI)is held at centres across the country in January. INOI involves programming in any one of three languages: C, C++ or Pascal. INOI-2010 was held on January 24, 2010.

About 25 students are selected from INOI for a training camp held in June-July to select the Indian team for IOI.
