Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) is a National Centre of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai. The broad goals of the Centre are to promote equity and excellence in science and mathematics education from primary school to undergraduate college level and encourage the growth of scientific literacy in the country. 

The nodal agency for all the science and mathematics Olympiads in the country is the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), a national centre of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR).

The science Olympiad programme is fully funded by the Government of India through the Board of Research in Nuclear Science, Department of Atomic 1 Energy (BRNS, DAE), Department of Science and Technology (DST).

The national Olympiad programme follows a five stage process, starting with an examination held at nearly 1400 schools across the country and culminating with the international Olympiads at different corners of the world. The national level examinations are designed to assess the conceptual understanding, logical reasoning, laboratory skills, and above all, ability to apply problem-solving skills to novel situations, both theoretical and experimental. Training is included from the third stage of the programme and the first two stages do not necessarily require any specialised coaching outside the regular school system. The programme for the year 2024-2025 is outlined in the brochure below.

Enrolment at student’s own school/college: A student can enrol for NSE at his/her own institution if it is a registered NSE centre (see below for registration of NSE centres). The principal would be the contact person for this purpose.

Direct Enrolment: If a student’s own institution is not a registered NSE centre, it is still possible to participate in NSE by enrolling directly on the IAPT website.

Rs. 300/- per student per subject.

The last date of registration is September 14, 2024.
