Chemistry · Expected
HBCSE / ACT · Classes 11–12 · 2026–27 window: Late Jan / early Feb 2027 (expected)
Stage two in Chemistry — selects the OCSC camp from which India's IChO team emerges.
Entry only via NSEC. The 2025-26 INChO ran on 31 January; the 2026-27 date will publish on HBCSE's olympiad portal, typically alongside a mandatory online registration window in early January.
Students of Classes 11–12. Subject focus: Chemistry. As with any olympiad, the best candidates are children who voluntarily enjoy the subject — an olympiad should stretch curiosity, not manufacture pressure.
Official information and registration: olympiads.hbcse.tifr.res.in. Always verify the current date, fee and eligibility on the organiser's own site before paying — organisers occasionally shift windows, and this page is a directory entry, not the organiser.
