Junior Science Olympiad (JSO) 2010 by Kendriya Vidyalaya (KVS)

KVS Junior Science Olympiad (KVS JSO)

The Olympiad will follow the following two stages:

  • Stage I: KVS Junior Science Olympiad (KVS-JSO)

  • Stage II: Orientation cum training Camp for top 100 performers in order of merit based on their proformance in KVS-JSO for National Standard Examination in Junior Science (NSEJS) conducted by Indian Association for Physics Teachers (IAPT)

  • Initially the first 100 students shortlisted from stage-I will be registered to participate in National Standard Examination in Junior Science (NSEJS) as per attached guidelines .After one year, KVS may conduct its own National Level Examination like Maths Olympiad .

  • The students selected from stage I will be given rigorous training for their participation in Indian National Junior Science Olympiad (INJSO)

The detailed information about eligibility and structure of the stages is given below:

Stage I: KVS Junior Science Olympiad (KVS -JSO) This is the first stage of selection of students. KVS-JSO will be conducted by the KVS regional office on a rotation basis.

Eligibility for OCSC: Only the students selected from the merit list of Stage II (INJSO 2011) will be eligible for OCSC 2011 in Junior Science. There will be no other criterion or provision.

The camp will include several theoretical and experimental tests. Orientation will be provided to students especially in experiments. The camp will conclude with a valedictory function where distinguished scientists will be invited to speak to the students.

The merit list of OCSC in Junior Science 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 (NSEJS and INJSO) is not considered for the merit list and awards of the OCSC.
The top 6 in the OCSC Junior Science 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 6 special merit awardees in Junior Science selected at the end of the OCSC 2011 constitute the 6 member student team for the International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) 2011, 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 IJSO 2011

The selected 6 member student team undergoes a rigorous training programme at HBCSE in theory and experiment. Special laboratoriesare being developed at HBCSE for the purpose of experimental training. Resource persons from HBCSE and different institutions across the country will train the students.

Stage V: Participation in International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) 2011

The 6 member student team and 3 teacher leaders constitute the delegation to represent India at the International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) 2011.
