Candidates will have to pay a registration fee of Rs 200, however, to encourage more participation, an early-bird offer in which the students can register for the olympiad for Rs 189 only.

The Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), Delhi University is now inviting applications for the National Economic Olympiad (NEO); a nationwide school-level economics olympiad for the students of Classes 11 and 12. The top three students from each class will be given a cumulative cash scholarship worth Rs 65,000 and others will get a participation certificate. All the candidates interested in the competition must note that they can apply on or before October 15.

NEO will have two rounds, both of which will be held online on October 17 and 24, respectively. Candidates will have to pay a registration fee of Rs 200, however, to encourage more participation, an early-bird offer in which the students can register for the olympiad for Rs 189 only. This is valid till September 25.

Candidates must note that the preliminary round will have four sections — economic concepts, logical reasoning, case studies, and data interpretation with 10 questions each. Each question accounts for one mark, however, there will be no negative marking in this round. The final round is a surprise round, details of which will be shared only during the time of the test.

With an aim to encourage students from underprivileged sections of the society, SRCC is offering a 100 per cent financial aid mechanism to “ensure better opportunities for students, irrespective of their constraints”. Through the olympiad, SRCC claims, students will get a chance to test their acumen and broaden their understanding of economics in terms of its application in the real world.

In 2020, SRCC had received over 6000+ participants from across 1200 schools and 400 cities, across 10 countries.
