These students are eligible to attend a three-four week orientation cum selection camp (OCSC) in Homi Bhaba Centre for Science Education & Research in Mumbai from where the International team gets selected.
On the basis of aggregate scores in OCSC , the top 4-6 students selected at the end of the camp will represent India at the International Olympiads. They will be accompanied by two teacher leaders and an observer. Although many private entities conduct various exams called Olympiads, this is the only official Olympiad conducted by the Government of India, Ministry of Human Resources that leads to the International level. The participation in such competitive examinations can motivate students with Math and Science aptitude to nourish and excel in their field of interest.
