Quick Fact:
To all the students who enjoy studying Physics, here is an olympiad for you. The Indian National Physics Olympiad or INPhO is an annual competition held among high school students. It is a unique opportunity for every student to gain more knowledge and experience in Physics. You will be able to connect with students from all over India and even from around the world (if you qualify for IPhO). The Indian National Physics Olympiad (INPhO) is conducted by HBCSE (Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education).
To help you understand further how the Indian National Physics Olympiad (INPhO) plays an important role for you, here are the different exams that a student needs to clear/qualify for International Physics Olympiad (IPhO).
Stage 1: National Standard Examination in Physics (NSEP)
Students of Class 11 and Class 12 participate in this examination in the month of November every year.
Stage 2: Indian National Physics Olympiad (INPhO)
Students who clear the NSEP (generally top 300 students) appear for the INPhO. This exam is organised by HBCSE in 15 centres all across India. Those who clear this examination get a certificate from IAPT (Indian Association of Physics Teachers) which is a prestigious achievement in itself.
Stage 3: Orientation cum Selection Camp (OCSC) in Physics
The top 35 students are chosen from the examination results of INPhO and they are invited to attend an orientation camp at the HBCSE centre. They have to pass several tests here in the camp.
Stage 4: Pre-Departure Training (PDT) Camp for IPhO
5-6 students are selected and given special training for the international olympiad.
Stage 5: International Physics Olympiad (IPhO)
The 5 students along with 2 teachers and 1 scientific observer represent India at the IPhO.
The above-stated stages were a part of the usual procedure followed until 2020. For the 2021-2022 session, only one qualifier examination was conducted known as the Indian Olympiad Qualifier for Physics (IOQP). The IOQP examination was conducted in two parts.
The Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Physics (IOQP) constitutes two examinations - National Standard Examination (NSEP) and Indian National Olympiad (INPhO). In other words:
National Standard Examination (NSEP)
Duration: 75 Minutes
Objective-type questions
This is a screening examination for selective evaluation of the second part, that is, INPhO/ IOQP Part II.
Indian National Olympiad (INPhO)
Duration 120 minutes
Detailed questions
The IOQP is jointly organised by the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT) and Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research) – HBCSE (TIFR). The academic responsibility of Part I: NSEP will be borne by IAPT while that of Part II: INO will be borne by HBCSE. The remaining stages of the Olympiad programme will be carried out by HBCSE.
The students who participate in IOQP are expected to have prior knowledge of the given 19 units along with the Science syllabus up to Class 10 and the Mathematics syllabus up to Class 12. Take note of the topics given below.

For the 2021-2022 session of INPhO, only one qualifier examination was conducted known as the Indian Olympiad Qualifier for Physics (IOQP). This examination had two parts: Part 1: National Standard Examination for Physics (NSEP) and Part 2: Indian National Physics Olympiad (INPhO).
INPhO or Indian National Physics Olympiad is a qualifying examination for International Physics Olympiad Training Camp. The selected students from the camp appear in the International Physics Olympiad.
askIITians team is here to guide students on how to study effectively for INPhO and achieve a higher rank (amongst the top 30). We provide complete study resources for INPhO.
The dates are not yet revealed by HBCSE. Stay tuned to the askIITians website to know more about INPhO 2022-2023.
There is no clear indication whether the 5-stage process will be followed in the 2022-2023 session or not. We must wait until the final notification arrives from HBCSE.
