National talent search pipeline filters over 250,000+ candidates through progressively rigorous evaluation milestones:
School-level or district testing center screening test. Focuses on speed and high accuracy across core fundamentals.
Proctored state/regional examination testing non-routine problem solving and higher-order logic.
Comprehensive multi-hour examination at designated national centers with subjective proofs and evaluations.
Intensive residential orientation-cum-selection camp conducted by national science academies and professors.
The gold standard for Olympiad algebra, combinatorics, and number theory.
Challenging physics and problem synthesis for junior science Olympiads.
Indispensable techniques: Invariance principle, coloring proofs, and pigeonhole application.
Authentic solved question papers from preceding competition seasons.
Consolidate core subject definitions, theorems, and mathematical deductions beyond the school textbook.
Practice 10-15 contest problems daily without looking at solutions for at least 45 minutes per problem.
Attempt 6 full-length timed mock tests under strict exam conditions and maintain an error analysis diary.
Ensure your school affiliation and student nomination details are submitted before 30 Nov 2026.
