HBCSE - Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education is a National Centre of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai. HBCSE conducts Science and Mathematics Olympiad for the talented secondary & higher secondary students of the nation. The Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) creates the platform those students who performed well in the beginning stages of HBCSE Olympiad 2019 for International Olympiads. Such students will represent India at the International Level Olympiads. HBCSE majorly conducts the National Olympiad programs in the field of science and mathematics that connects to the international Olympiads is in operation in India.

Students who participate in HBCSE Olympiads do not get directly any career benefits; they get the motivation to begin a career in the field of science or mathematics. The national-level HBCSE Olympiad for science is conducted in five streams such as Junior Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Astronomy. Each stream has their separate selection test named National Standard Examination (NSE). The Mathematics Olympiad is conducted under the aegis of the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM).

Those students, who are willing to represent India in International Olympiad 2019 are required to clear the all stages of national level HBCSE Olympiad for science and mathematics. There are four stages that students have to clear before the International Olympiad.

Procedure for International National Science Olympiad

Candidates have to clear the NSE examination which is conducted by Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT). Successful candidates will move to the second stage i.e. INO (Indian National Olympiad). Those candidates who will perform well in the INO will be moved to next stage i.e. Orientation Cum Selection Camp (OCSC) which is conducted by HBCSE. In OCSC, candidates will be trained by subject experts and marked on their performance in both theory and practical experiments. And few candidates from OCSC will be selected for representing India in International Science Olympiad (ISO).

Procedure for International National Mathematical Olympiad

Interested candidates are required to clear the PRMO (Pre Regional Mathematical Olympiad) examination which is conducted by National Board for Higher Mathematics. Successful candidates will move to the second stage i.e. RMO (Regional Mathematical Olympiad). Those candidates who will perform well in RMO will be moved to next stage i.e. INMO (Indian National Mathematical Olympiad). After INMO, few candidates will be selected for IMOTC. Candidates will be trained by subject experts and marked on their performance in Math subject. And few candidates from IMOTC will be selected for representing India in International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).

European Girl Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO)

There is another Mathematics Olympiad which is conducted only for female students named EGMO (European Girl Mathematical Olympiad). EGMO 2019 is an international mathematics competition that is organized only for female candidates. In this European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO), the participating countries have to send teams consisting of four female mathematicians of school age. Those girl students who willing to represent Indian in EGMO are required to appear in the Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO). They have to clear all stages of national level mathematical Olympiad conducted by HBCSE.

Female candidates’ selection for EGMO will be based on the performance in following Olympiads. A Pre-departure camp will also be arranged for female candidates.
