  • Olympiads - Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education Verified against the document
    Official website · Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research · 2026 · checked 5 Oct 2026
    Opened https://olympiads.hbcse.tifr.res.in/ on 2026-10-05; it is the Olympiads site of HBCSE (TIFR) and links the Syllabus, Olympiad Books, Information Brochures, Stages and Past papers pages and the 2026-2027 Mathematical and Science Olympiad pages.
  • Syllabus - Olympiads (HBCSE) Verified against the document
    Syllabus · Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research · 2026 · checked 5 Oct 2026
    Opened https://olympiads.hbcse.tifr.res.in/how-to-prepare/syllabus/ on 2026-10-05 and read its text. The page carries the 'Syllabus for National Standard Examination and Indian National Olympiad in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy and Junior Science' (tabs Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Junior Science) and a 'Mathematical Olympiad' tab. Every topic list in this file was cut from that page text and compared back with it (lower-case letters and digits only, ignoring spacing): every unit title and every topic phrase occurs in the page text. Not compared: the page as rendered (images); the lists of recommended books on the Mathematical tab are not syllabus and are not copied.
  • Brochure Mathematical Olympiad 2026-27 Verified against the document
    Exam scheme / pattern · Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research · 2026 · checked 5 Oct 2026
    Downloaded the 35-page PDF linked from https://olympiads.hbcse.tifr.res.in/mathematical-olympiad-2026-2027/ on 2026-10-05 and read its text layer. It describes Stage 1 IOQM (p. 5), Stage 2 RMO (p. 8), Stage 3 INMO (p. 9), the stage table with number of questions, marks and duration (pp. 11-12), Stage 4 a) IMOTC and 4 b) EGMOTC (p. 12), Stage 5 A IMO (p. 14) and 5 B EGMO (p. 15), and prints the 'Syllabus for Mathematical Olympiad' (p. 15). Statements recorded in this file were each checked against those pages. Dates, venues, quotas, prizes and fees are not copied.
  • Olympiad Books - Olympiads (HBCSE) Verified against the document
    Prescribed / recommended reading (published by the body) · Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research · 2026 · checked 5 Oct 2026
    Opened https://olympiads.hbcse.tifr.res.in/how-to-prepare/olympiad-books/ on 2026-10-05; it lists the books HBCSE sells or recommends for the Science and Mathematical Olympiads (INPhO, INChO, INBO, INAO problem books, experimental problem books, and the Mathematical Olympiad books). It is a book list, not a syllabus, and no chapter cites it.
