Let\u2019s now understand the stages of this program.<\/p>\n<h3>INDIA SURGING AHEAD IN INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE OLYMPIADS<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Indian students have excelled at all the International Science Olympiads ever since participation started in 1998. Almost every student has won a gold, silver, bronze medal or an honorable mention. Over the years, several Indian students have also won special awards for best performances in theoretical or experimental components.<\/p>\n<h3>OLYMPIADS: AN INSPIRATION FOR A CAREER IN SCIENCE<\/h3>\n<p>These performances &amp; unique experiences of the Olympiads inspire young students to continue their fascinating journey with Science. Most of the Olympiad students choose academic careers and begin their careers in reputed universities and research institutions in India and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>With the first stage of NSEs to be conducted on 17<sup>th<\/sup> November and 24<sup>th<\/sup> November 2019, this year will bring with itself new success stories and milestones to be etched in the name of deserving candidates. So, good luck to all the NSE aspirants of classes IX-XII who have taken their first step towards broadening their horizons in the mysterious world of Science and Astronomy.<\/p>\n<table style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif; border: 1px solid black; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"border: 1px solid black; padding-left: 10px; background-color: #ffffff; text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Aakash Education Services Limited is now on <em><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2WRN8Ay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Telegram<\/a><\/em>.
