INChO is an annual competition for high school students that allows them to display their skills in their favourite subject, Chemistry. The competition is organised by the Homi Bhabha Centre in collaboration with the Indian Association of Chemistry Teachers every year. Students in grades 11 and 12 can take the INChO Olympiad exam after passing the NSEC (National Standard Examination in Chemistry) exam. Around 3000 candidates take this test every year, but InChO chooses only the top 1%.

Preparation Tips for INChO
- Students aiming to pass the INChO test should keep in mind that it is a worldwide exam. Thus, they should strategize and schedule their studies properly.
- Students interested in taking the INChO exam should begin by strengthening their knowledge.

- Students should begin studying for this exam as soon as possible. For example, a student can begin with inorganic and physical chemistry in Class 10 and then focus on the other topics in Classes 11 and 12.
- In Class 10, students may begin by studying and solving the NCERT, and as he/she progresses through the grades, they can develop the basics and pursue more complex topics.
Indian National Chemistry Olympiad Reference Book 2022
In this part, we will limit our recommendations to works that are relevant to the 2022 tests. These are the books:
- Students must refer to the general literature they read in their JEE mains and advance level preparation for level 1. They would be able to pass level 1 with just the guide books or NCERT books they have studied.
- Level 2 – Students are expected to expand their knowledge. Since this is an international exam, they must broaden their horizons and specialise in each of the subjects. They can use the following books to do so:
- Inorganic Chemistry – Lee or Housecroft
- Organic Chemistry – Calyden, Morrison and Boyed. In India, Morrison and Boyed are mainly available.
- Physical Chemistry – Atkin
- Analytical Chemistry – Skoog
- Practical Chemistry – I. Vogel
- Biochemistry – Lehninger
