Eligibility: Students from grades 6-12 enrolled in a school in India
Exam Mode: Online (Programming tasks)
Duration: 3 hours
Frequency: Once a year
Objective: To select the top students to represent India at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI)

Participation Process

Zonal Informatics Olympiad (ZIO): A written exam held at centers across the country.
Zonal Computing Olympiad (ZCO): A programming exam held at centers across the country.
INOI: The top performers from ZIO and ZCO are invited to participate in INOI.

Eligibility Criteria

Grade Level: Students must be in grades 6-12 and enrolled in a recognized school in India.
Performance in ZIO/ZCO: Students must qualify for the INOI by performing well in either the Zonal Informatics Olympiad (ZIO) or the Zonal Computing Olympiad (ZCO).
