    What Is INChO?

    The Indian National Chemistry Olympiad (INChO) is the second stage of India's HBCSE Chemistry pathway. Top performers are invited to the Orientation-cum-Selection Camp (OCSC) where the four-member Indian IChO team is selected. The pathway runs NSEC → INChO → OCSC → IChO.

    Who is it for?
    Students who have qualified NSEC and are targeting INChO selection, or strong Class 11–12 chemistry students aiming for the HBCSE pathway.
    How is it taught?
    Live 1-to-1 online classes with a verified Chemistry mentor. Your first session is a free trial that maps your level, then classes follow a personal plan. From $25/hour.

    How INChO mentoring works

    1. Step 1

      Free trial & level check

      Your first 1-to-1 session is free. A Chemistry mentor works through INChO problems with you to find exactly where marks are being lost.

    2. Step 2

      Your personal plan

      We write a plan around those gaps, starting with Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, paced to your exam date.

    3. Step 3

      Live 1-to-1 classes

      Weekly online sessions with the same matched mentor, with practice set between lessons and every mistake reviewed.

    4. Step 4

      Progress updates

      Parents get regular updates on accuracy, pace and readiness. If the mentor fit isn't right, we rematch at no cost.
