Register / Nominate a Student

Bring a curious young mind into the Raman Young Scientist Initiative. Schools and teachers can register a whole batch of students; parents and students can sign up on their own.

Who registers?

Schools & teachers can register many students at once. If you are coordinating for a class or a whole school, use the bulk-upload format below so we can enrol everyone together.
Parents & students can self-register a single student directly through the form on this page — no school coordinator required.

RYSI is open to students in grades 3 to 10 studying in India, across three categories: Junior (grades 3–4), Intermediate / Middle (grades 5–7) and Senior (grades 8–10).
