Can you give any Olympiads after passing 12th?

Yes, there are Olympiads and competitive examinations that students can attempt even after passing Class 12, but the opportunities depend on the subject, age limit, and eligibility criteria.

1. National & International Science Olympiads (before undergrad admission):

• Most science Olympiads in India (like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Junior Science) are held up to Class 12 level. After passing Class 12, you are generally not eligible to write them again.
• However, if you qualified during Class 12, you can still participate in the next international round (for example, the International Physics Olympiad or International Mathematical Olympiad) provided you were selected before completing Class 12.

2. Undergraduate-Level Olympiads and Competitions:

• Indian Computing Olympiad (ICO): If you have programming skills, you can prepare for higher-level coding competitions like ACM ICPC, Google Code Jam, or Kick Start during college.
• Mathematics Competitions: After Class 12, students can participate in international math contests like Putnam Competition (for university students, though mostly US-based) or online Olympiad-style contests such as Brilliant, Art of Problem Solving (AoPS), and Asian Pacific Math Olympiad (APMO) if selected.

3. Higher Education & Career-Oriented Olympiads:

• Some organizations and universities conduct open Olympiad-style entrance tests (for example, the KVPY was merged into INSPIRE-SHE scholarship exams that support science students after 12th).
• International Olympiad of English Language, General Knowledge, and Reasoning – Some private organizations conduct Olympiads where college students can still enroll.

4. Alternative Competitions after 12th:
Even though Class 12 is the cutoff for most school Olympiads like SOF (Science Olympiad Foundation) or Silverzone, you can still aim for:

• Competitive exams like JEE, NEET, and international scholarships that have Olympiad-level problem-solving.
• College-level competitions such as hackathons, debates, or global knowledge Olympiads open to university students.

While most school-level Olympiads end at Class 12, opportunities don’t vanish. If you’re passionate about math, science, or computing, you can pursue university-level Olympiads, coding competitions, and subject-based contests. These not only build your problem-solving skills but also add immense value to your academic and career journey.
