NISO – National Interactive Science Olympiad

The Eduheal Foundation is a recognized international non-governmental organization and the Google Science Fair’s academic partner. EHF has spent the last ten years giving students a stage on which to demonstrate their skills and unearth their latent scientific and intellectual abilities, all with the conviction that every student has the potential to succeed.
The NISO examination practice manual will be made available by EduHeal once registration is complete. All the study materials that students need are included in the handbook, including practice exams along with test specifics (dates, structure, and marking scheme). Eventually, we will go into more information about the NISO exam.

NISO Registration

The scholars in Classes 1 to 12 can take the NISO exam, and the schools will send them registration materials. Every scholar may be required to pay a small participation fee, a portion of which may be kept by the college to cover its expenses as an exam center. To ensure that students are promptly sent to the registered schools, information regarding the rate, mode of payment, etc., may be included in the college registration paperwork.

Applicants must be scholars in Class 1 to Class 12 of the CBSE, ICSE, Kingdom Board, or NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling). The NISO application form has to be sent by the college to receive it before the deadline, which is August. The consent forms must be posted by students to the relevant coordinators.

Please Note: Each participant for schools must pay an exam cost of INR 125 (which includes 18% GST). In addition, the institution will take INR 25 from each student who is closer to the honorarium in terms of cost, as payment for the teachers’ training and guidance.

NISO Syllabus

For students to properly get ready for the National Interactive Science Olympiad, the syllabus is essential. An in-depth comprehension of the subjects that comprise the exam will be given by the syllabus. Strong topics and those that require more attention can be divided among the students.
