Homi Bhabha Balvaidnyanik (HBBVS)

Mumbai Science Teachers' Association · Classes 6–9 · 2026–27 window: Written: Sep 2026 (expected)

Maharashtra's beloved young-scientist competition for Classes 6 and 9 — written, practical and interview rounds.

A genuinely multi-skill contest: theory exam, then practical exam, then action-research project and interview for finalists. If you're a Maharashtra school, this belongs in the calendar.

Who is it for?

Students of Classes 6–9. Subject focus: Science. As with any olympiad, the best candidates are children who voluntarily enjoy the subject — an olympiad should stretch curiosity, not manufacture pressure.
