About the Indian Computing Olympiad
The Indian Computing Olympiad is a nationwide competition organized annually by IARCS in coordination with CBSE. The goal of the competition is to identify school students with outstanding skills in algorithms and computer programming.
The Indian Computing Olympiad is used to select the team of four students to represent India at the International Olympiad for Informatics (IOI). IOI is one of the six prominent Science Olympiads held annually. The other five Science Olympiads are held in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Astronomy. IOI-2010 will be held in Waterloo, Canada in August, 2010.
The first round of the Indian Computing Olympiad 2010 is in two parts. The Zonal Informatics Olympiad (ZIO-2010) is a written exam that was held at centres across the country on December 5, 2009.
In addition to ZIO-2010, students can also also qualify for the second round by taking part in the Zonal Computing Olympiad (ZCO-2010), an online programming contest on December 12, 2009.
The second round, the Indian National Olympiad in Informatics (INOI-2010) will held at centres across the country on January 24, 2010. INOI-2010 involved programming in any one of three languages: C, C++ or Pascal.
About 25 students will be selected from INOI-2010 for a training camp to be held in June-July, 2010 to select the Indian team for IOI-2010.
The Computing Olympiad is open to all school students across the country, from any school board.
