INJSO — Indian National Junior Science Olympiad

HBCSE · Classes 8–10 · 2026–27 window: Late Jan / early Feb 2027 (expected)

Stage two for juniors — selects the camp that picks India's IJSO team.

Entry only via NSEJS. The 2025-26 INJSO ran on 1 February. Broadly Class-10 syllabus, but the problems demand olympiad-grade thinking across all three sciences plus maths.

Who is it for?

Students of Classes 8–10. Subject focus: Junior Science. As with any olympiad, the best candidates are children who voluntarily enjoy the subject — an olympiad should stretch curiosity, not manufacture pressure.
