The National Economics Olympiad conducted by The Economics Society, SRCC, is an initiative to break the monotony of an unquestioning curricular regime among students of Classes 11th & 12th (including batch of 2022) and harness the true potential of the discipline of Economics.
Economics is a vast subject whose beauty lies as much in theory as in its applicability. Feel the same and think that school exams are too theoretical? The fifth edition of the biggest Economics Olympiad for school students is back to allow kids to look beyond their curriculum and truly "Discover The Economist" in themselves.
Gear up for an opportunity of a lifetime as you navigate through a well-curated blend of application of economic concepts, logical reasoning, case studies and data interpretation to come out the victor against thousands of students across the world!
