IAO Exam Registration

The International Astronomy Olympiad (IAO) is a scientific-educational competition with mental tasks for junior high school students (ages fourteen to eighteen). The competition motivates applicants to demonstrate their abilities, resulting in interactions, opinion exchanges, and collaboration among professors, scientists, and students. The exercises are intended to promote inventiveness, creativity, and independent thinking. The Olympiad events are played in an atmosphere of peace and tolerance.

Students must first register for the International Olympiad Qualifier in Astronomy (IOQA) to take the IAO test. Candidates interested in astronomy should take the IAO test to expand their knowledge and learn more about the subject. They should be aware of even the most minor things required to take the exam. The IAO Exam Registration process is explained below.

IAO Exam Registration

For pre-application, you must submit the following documents:

• Pre-application form
• Information about the National Astronomy Olympiad includes a summary of information (obligatory for regularly participating countries, optional for new countries) in the pre-application form.

Forms to be submitted

1. The application form
2. Personal information details
3. Colour scan of a passport, including the required signature and photo (It’s important to note that only a passport scan copy is necessary, not a photograph taken with a camera).
4. There are instructions for a team leader who is in charge of translating problems into the participants’ local language. Olympiad competitors’ rules and regulations must be translated into the participants’ local languages.

All applicants must pay the registration fee. They should write down the start date of the process, so they don’t forget. Once they have enrolled, they must print a copy of the application form, which will contain their form number, and will be necessary for future updates.

Key Points to Remember

• When filling out the application form, candidates should keep all government information such as Aadhar and Pan cards, passports, and other documents handy. They should also have a passport-size photograph and a scanned signature when filling out the form since they will be asked to upload both. Scanned copies of Class 10 mark sheets are also required as proof during the uploading procedure.
• Students should keep note of when their hall tickets will arrive. This information will be shared at least five days before the exam. To get a soft copy, candidates must provide their registration number and date of birth. After that, print it out and keep the hard copy with you because you’ll need it to enter the hall.
• All of the required items allowed into the hall will be listed on the admit cards. It is recommended that students read the rules thoroughly and follow the necessary procedures.
