Online registration for the National Children's Science Congress-2026 is open until August 15. The program is for students aged 10 to 17 to develop scientific thinking.
This program is a flagship activity of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. The department has urged all schools to ensure timely registration of eligible students.
Its main objective is to develop scientific thinking, innovation, and a spirit of research among students in the 10 to 17 age group. It is an important platform to encourage students towards science.
Students can participate in this congress in two categories. Students in the 10-14 age group can ensure their participation in the junior category, and students in the 14-17 age group in the senior category.
The theme for the 2026-27 competition is “Science and Innovation for Sustainable Development.”
Students will have to select a local social problem in groups of two. After this, they will have to work on its solution through scientific methods, surveys, observations, and experiments. Guide teachers will guide the students throughout this process.
In the first phase, students and guide teachers of registered projects will be invited to the project presentation program to be held at the district level in October 2026.
Projects selected from here will be given the opportunity to participate in state and then national level competitions. The online registration process for students has started on the NCSC portal.
