Introduction:
Indian Institute of Technology Indore located in Madhya Pradesh, known as IIT Indore or IITI, is an institute of national importance established by the Government of India in 2009. It caters to the research and development of a wide range of areas in science and technology. The Department of Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Engineering (DAASE) at IIT Indore was established in December 2015 as an interdisciplinary division at IIT Indore, focusing on a wide range of research topics in the domain of Astronomy and Space weather and navigation studies.
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. It is India’s nodal centre for Olympiad programmes in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, and Junior Science.

Applications are invited from teachers and educators for Olympiad Exposure Camps in Astronomy which will be organised at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore (IIT Indore). The camp is not intended for students and they need not apply.

Camp Objective:
The primary objective of the camp is to spread awareness about the national and international Olympiad programme in Astronomy. An orientation towards the academic and organisational aspects of the Astronomy Olympiad will be provided. The camp also serves as a platform for productive interaction within the teacher community.

Camp Structure:
Olympiad Exposure Camp in Astronomy will be an in-person camp held entirely at IIT Indore, Indore, during 24 to 27 February 2023. The camp will consist of multiple lecture and tutorial sessions, educational visits, night sky observation and telescope handling sessions. Typical topics covered will be celestial mechanics, optics, positional astronomy, stellar physics etc.

Dates and Venue:
• 24 to 27 February 2023 at IIT Indore.

Travel and Accommodation:
Participants will be reimbursed to and fro travel fare as per their entitlement (maximum II-AC train fare). Food and accommodation at IIT Indore will be provided for all participants.

Who can apply?
• University/college teachers of physics or astronomy
• High school science teachers (with a background in physics/mathematics)
• Astronomy outreach personnel from scientific institutions, staff of planetaria and science museums, as well as active amateur astronomers
• Students and applicants below the age of 23 years will not be considered.
• It is preferred that the participants have a background in Physics and/or Mathematics.
• Previous participants of Astronomy Olympiad Exposure Camps will not be considered again. Previous participants of Olympiad Exposure Camps in other subjects may be considered subject to the availability of seats.

Application process:
• Click here to fill out the online application form.
• Last date of application: 4 February 2023.
• Intimation regarding selection will be communicated by 10 February 2023.
• Selected participants will be invited through an official letter sent over email.
• Any queries regarding the camp can be sent to outreach_daase@iiti.ac.in .

In case your INO 2023 dates clash with your allocated JEE Main examination date, you may send a request to NTA for an alternative date for JEE Main by filling up the form below.

https://forms.gle/oWmFirr7nrNgGYwH9

Please submit this form on or before 12 noon, Friday, January 20, 2023. No request received in any other form (email/phone etc.) or beyond this deadline can be considered.

HBCSE has agreed to forward such requests collectively to the NTA, which has offered to look into it. However, we have no information about the time taken by NTA to process these requests and the eventual outcome. HBCSE has no role in this matter other than forwarding your request to NTA.

Please note that the INO dates will not be changed, irrespective of the outcome of your request to NTA.

Please do not call or email HBCSE about this matter since we cannot provide any further information and assistance regarding this. The deadline for submission of this form cannot be extended.

The second stage examinations of Science Olympiads, the Indian National Olympiads (INO) in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy and Junior Science will be held on January 28 and 29, 2023.

Registration for INO will begin on 6 January 2023.

Please note that the national Olympiad examinations are linked to the international Olympiad calendar that cannot be altered.  In order to ensure that the multiple stages of selection and training of the Indian teams to the Olympiads in multiple subjects proceed smoothly, the Olympiad calendar of exams and camps is already very tight. Various administrative processes like registration of teams, obtaining official clearances, booking foreign travel tickets, and most importantly, obtaining visas for every member of the teams going to various countries must be completed by inflexible deadlines. Further, the dates of subsequent stages of the Olympiads are already severely constrained by the dates of multiple board examinations and national competitive examinations that the students are expected to take. The INO dates are fixed with minimum margins so as not to jeopardise national representation in any of the international Olympiads. These dates are final and cannot be changed.

HBCSE has made NTA aware of the potential clash of INO and JEE Main exams for some students on Jan 28/29. NTA is looking into the matter to find a solution.
