Syllabus
The syllabus for Mathematical Olympiad (regional, national and international) is pre-degree college mathematics. The areas covered are arithmetic of integers, geometry, quadratic equations and expressions, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, systems of linear equations, permutations and combinations, factorisation of polynomials, inequalities, elementary combinatorics, probability theory and number theory, finite series and complex numbers and elementary graph theory. The syllabus does not include Calculus and Statistics. The major areas from which problems are given are number theory, geometry, algebra and combinatorics. The syllabus is in a sense spread over Class IX to Class XII levels, but the problems under each topic are of exceptionally high level in difficulty and sophistication. The difficulty level increases from RMO to INMO to IMO.

Stages
The astronomy Olympiad program follows the following 5 stages: StageI: National Standard Examination in Astronomy (NSEA). StageII: Indian National Astronomy Olympiad (INAO), StageIII: Orientation cum Selection Camp (OCSC) in astronomy, StageIV: Pre-departure Training Camp (PDT) for IOAA, StageV: International Olympiad in Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA).
Stage1isentirelytheresponsibilityofIAPT.AlltheremainingstagesareorganizedbyHBCSE. The detailed information about eligibility and structure of the stages is given below:
Stage I: National Standard Examination in Astronomy (NSEA)

NSEA is the first stage of selection of students in the astronomy Olympiad Programme which is organized by the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT). Every student aspiring to go through successive stages of the programme must enroll for NSEA. NSEA will be held at a large number of centres in the country.
DateofNSEA2011:27November2011(Sunday) TimeofNSEA2011:03:00pmto05:00pm LastDateforEnrollmentforNSEA:15thSeptember2011
pdfcrowd.com
Eligibility: All Indian students who are born on or after January 1, 1993 and, in addition, are in Class XII or lower as of November 30, 2011, are eligible to appear for NSEA 2011 2012. If they qualify in the NSEA they will be eligible for subsequent stages leading to participation in International Olympiad in Astronomy and Astrophysics 2012.
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the eligibility criteria are satisfied. In case at any stage of the programme it is found that the student does not satisfy the eligibility criteria, he/she may be disqualified from the program. Syllabus: The syllabus for NSEA is broadly equivalent to the senior secondary level (upto Class XII) of CBSE. There will be greater emphasis on physics and mathematics (calculus not expected) and elementary astronomy. This is only a rough guideline, and there is no detailed syllabus given for NSEA.
QuestionPaper: NSEA emphasizes comprehension of the subject, not rote memory. Its format will be as follows: The question paper will consist of 80 multiple choice questions, each with only one of the four options correct. Language : English.
QualifyingfortheSecondStage: Based on performance in NSEA, the top 300 students in order of merit qualify to appear for the Second Stage of the Olympiad programme: INAO. In case there is a tie at the last position, all students with the same marks qualify for the INAO.
All students who qualify to appear for the INAO get a certificate of merit from IAPT.

Stage II: Indian National Astronomy Olympiad (INAO)

INAO is organized by HBCSE at about 15 centres in the country.
Eligibility: Students selected from Stage I examination (NSEA) are eligible to appear for INAO. In addition those students who have been exempted as described in the Enrollment page are also eligible to appear for INAO. Besides these two, there is no other way by which a student becomes eligible to appear for INAO.
The tentative date and time of INAO 2012 is as follows: January28,2012(Saturday):09:00am---12:00noon(3hours)
pdfcrowd.com
The confirmed date and schedule will be announced in the first week of January 2012 on this website and communicated by post to the eligible students. Students appearing for INAO are eligible for TA/DA as per norms of the programme.
Syllabus:The syllabus for INAO is broadly similar to that for NSEA. The syllabus is only a broad guideline. Questions and problems in National Olympiads are usually non-conventional and of high difficulty level, comparable to International Olympiads.
The number of students to be selected for OCSC Astronomy will be 35. In the event, there is a tie at the last position, all students with the same marks at the last position will qualify for OCSC at the respective level.
There will be no other criteria or provision for selection to OCSC astronomy.
Stage III: Orientation Cum Selection Camp (OCSC) in Astronomy

OCSC in astronomy will be organized by HBCSE sometime in April to May 2012 for 2-3 weeks. The precise dates will be announced prior to or along with the announcement of the selection list for the OCSC.

EligibilityforOCSC: Only the students selected from the merit list of Stage II (INPhO) are eligible. There will be no other criterion or provision. The tentative dates of OCSC 2012 are as follows: May12-May23,2012 The camps include several theoretical and experimental tests. Orientation is provided to students especially in experiments. The camps conclude with a valedictory function where distinguished scientists are invited to speak to the students.
The merit list of OCSC is prepared on the basis of the combined theoretical and experimental score aggregated over all the tests in the camp, with 60% weightage for theory and 40% weightage for experiment. Performance in previous stages (NSEP and INPhO) will not be a consideration for the merit list and awards of the OCSC. The top 5 students in the OCSC physics merit list are declared to be special merit awardees. These special merit awardees are given Rs. 5,000/- each in the form of books and cash. In addition there are special prizes to recognize meritorious performance in theory and experiments. The 5 special merit awardees in physics selected at the end of the OCSC constitute the 5 member student team for the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO), provided they satisfy required criteria such as age limit, holding valid Indian passport, medical fitness, parental consent, etc.
Stage IV: Pre-departure Training (PDT) Camp for IPhO

The selected 5 member Indian team undergoes a rigorous training programme at HBCSE in theory and experiments. Special laboratories have been developed at HBCSE for the purpose of experimental training. Resource persons from HBCSE and different institutions across the country train the students.
Stage V: Participation in International Physics Olympiad (IPhO)

The 5 member student team, 2 teacher leaders and 1 scientific observer constitute the delegation to represent India at the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO).
