BE Maths Physics Olympiad

BACKGROUND

Science Olympiads are competitions that provide a platform to motivate students to strive for better, to develop a sense of confidence and to identify young geniuses. Maths (IMO since 1959) and Physics (IPhO since 1967) are the two oldest science olympiads. Since engineering field requires valid reasoning and creative thinking the Maths-Physics Olympiad aims to provide a platform for students to develop analytical thinking and judge themselves to strive for better. It also aims to promote academic discussions between the students.

REGISTRATION

Students currently studying engineering (Bachelor level) under any university in Nepal can participate in BE Maths Physics Olympiad.
