To gauge a student’s potential many Olympiads are conducted at national and international levels. The notable exams are: Mathematics and Science Olympiads such as NSO, IMO, iOS, iOM, NSTSE, etc. These gauge a student’s performance in Mathematics and Science at an all India level. In addition, International Mathematics and Junior Science Olympiads are organised by MTA (I), IAPT & HBCSE such as IOQM, NSEJS and their subsequent stages which are conducted annually. These allow students to represent their country on an international platform and compete for the coveted international medals. Apart from these, students can also appear for state level scholarship exams such as Mukhyamantri Vigyan Pratibha Pariksha (MVPP for Delhi state), Dr. Homi Bhabha Balvaidnyanik competition (DHBBVC for Maharashtra), etc.
These exams are symbolic of merit and achievement and students must try to qualify in these.
