Stage I: National Standard Examination in Physics (NSEP)

NSEP is the first stage of selection of students in the physics Olympiad Programme, organised by the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT). NSEP exam is held at a large number of centres in the country.

Eligibility:
All Indian students of Class XI or Class XII (Science stream) and born after December 31, 1989 are eligible to appear for NSEP. XII paas students are not allowed in NSEP.

  Syllabus:
 
The syllabus for NSEP is broadly  equivalent to the senior secondary level (Class XI and Class XII) of CBSE Physics.

Question Paper:
Its format would be as follows:

       
Qualifying for the Second Stage:

Based on performance in NSEP, the top 300 students in order of merit will qualify to appear for the Second Stage of the Olympiad program (INPhO).

All students who qualify to appear for INPhO 2009, will get a certificate of merit from IAPT.

Stage II: Indian National Physics Olympiad (INPhO)

INPhO is organized by HBCSE at about 15 centres in the country.

Only students selected from Stage I examination (NSEP) are eligible to appear for INPhO.

The tentative date and time of INPhO 2010 examination are as follows:

January 31, 2010 (Sunday) :          09:00 am --- 12:00 noon (3 hours)

Students appearing for INPhO are eligible for TA/DA as per the norms of the programme.

Syllabus : The syllabus for INPhO is broadly similar to NSEP but the difficulty level of the questions will be higher.

On the basis of performance in INPhO, the top 35 students in the merit list will be selected for Stage III: Orientation Cum Selection Camp (OCSC) in physics.

Stage III: Orientation  Cum Selection Camp (OCSC) in Physics

OCSC in physics will be organized by HBCSE sometime in April to June 2009 for 2-3 weeks.

Eligibility for OCSC : Only the students selected from the merit list of Stage II (INPhO) are eligible.

The camps include several theoretical and experimental tests.  Orientation is provided to students especially in experiments. The camps conclude with a valedictory function  where distinguished scientists are invited to speak to the students.
The merit list of OCSC is prepared on the basis of the combined theoretical and experimental score aggregated over all the tests in the camp, with 60% weightage for theory and 40% weightage for experiment. Performance in previous stages (NSEP and INPhO) will not be a consideration for the merit list and awards of the OCSC.
 
The top 5 in the OCSC physics merit list are declared to be special merit awardees. These special merit awardees are given Rs. 5,000/- each in the form of books and cash. In addition there are special prizes to recognize meritorious performance in theory and experiments.
 
The 5 special merit awardees in physics selected at the end of the OCSC constitute the 5 member student team for the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO), provided they satisfy the required criteria such as age limit, holding valid Indian passports, medical fitness, parental consent, etc.

Stage IV: Pre-departure Training (PDT) Camp for IPhO

The selected 5 member  Indian team undergoes a rigorous training programme at HBCSE in theory and experiment. Special laboratories have been developed at HBCSE for the purpose. Resource persons from HBCSE and different institutions across the country are invited to train the students.

Stage V: Participation in International Physics Olympiad (IPhO)

The 5 member student team, 2 teacher leaders and 1 scientific observer constitute the delegation to represent India at the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO). The 40th IPhO is to be held in Mexico tentatively in July 2009.
