- Passed 12th class or equivalent by this year with Maths, Physics and Chemistry.
- Selected for training to represent India at certified International Olympiads in Informatics, Linguistics, Mathematics or Science (Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry and Physics) during the last 4 years. The qualifying Olympiads for each programme have been listed in the table below. Other Olympiads (including the Junior Science Olympiad) will not be considered.
Additionally:
Applicants who have been selected for the Indian team at the certified International Olympiads are also eligible to choose the 4-year undergraduate program (in addition to the 5-year dual-degree program) once they are selected through the interviews.- Applicants with KVPY rank of 5000 or better.
