The Chemistry Olympiad for classes XI and XII usually consists of two rounds: the screening test and the main exam. Here are some details and the exam pattern for the Chemistry Olympiad:

​

1. Screening Test:
- The screening test is usually conducted at the school level to shortlist students for the main exam.
- The screening test typically consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) covering various topics in physics such as mechanics, thermodynamics, organic, inorganic, etc.
- The duration of the screening test is usually around 1-2 hours.

2. Main Exam:
- The main exam is conducted at the national level and is more challenging than the screening test.
- The main exam may consist of a combination of MCQs, short answer questions, and descriptive questions.
- The topics covered in the main exam are more advanced and may include topics.
- The duration of the main exam is usually longer than the screening test, ranging from 2-4 hours.

Exam Pattern:
- The exam pattern may vary from year to year, but typically includes questions from various topics in physics.
- The questions may test the students' conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real-life situations.
- Students are expected to have a good understanding of fundamental concepts in physics and be able to solve problems using mathematical equations and principles.

Overall, participating in the Chemistry Olympiad for classes XI and XII can be a great way for students to enhance their knowledge and skills in physics and prepare for competitive exams in the future.


The Chemistry Olympiad for classes XI and XII covers a wide range of topics in chemistry. Here is a general outline of the syllabus for the Chemistry Olympiad:

Class XI:

2. Structure of Atom
3. Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
4. Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
5. States of Matter
6. Thermodynamics
7. Equilibrium
8. Redox Reactions
9. Hydrogen
10. s-Block Elements
11. Some p-Block Elements

Class XII:
1. Solid State
2. Solutions
3. Electrochemistry
4. Chemical Kinetics
5. Surface Chemistry
6. General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elements
7. p-Block Elements
8. d- and f-Block Elements
9. Coordination Compounds
10. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
