About
STEMS

STEMS (Scholastic Test of Excellence in Mathematical Sciences) is an annual first-of-its-kind open resource examination conducted for students from 8th grade to undergraduates across India. The exam will be held in Mathematics, Physics, and (theoretical) Computer Science in December. The relaxed duration of the exam and original conceptual questions promote academic creativity over rote learning and research interest, increasing the interest and awareness of mathematical sciences amongst the students.

STEMS
Camp

About 30 of the best scorers across the three disclipines of STEMS will be selected for a 3-day, fully-funded camp at CMI. Past students selected for this camp include various medalists at the IMO, IOI and few of the brightest school and college students across India.

STEMS camp 2024 is taking place from 16th February, 2024 to 18th February, 2024. A detailed scheduled is available here.
