XandY Learning has announced the fourth edition of the National Science and Maths Championship (NSMC) 2026, marking a significant milestone in the competition’s journey. Scheduled to be held on 1 November 2026, the championship will be conducted across Kerala, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad, extending its reach beyond Kerala and bringing together school students from across South India.

The expansion reflects the growing demand for early exposure to competitive examinations and aims to provide students with a common platform to assess their scientific aptitude, mathematical reasoning, and analytical skills. By bringing participants from multiple regions onto a single assessment platform, NSMC seeks to encourage healthy academic competition while helping students benchmark their performance at a broader level.

Building competitive confidence

Designed by a team of IITians, NITians, and doctors, NSMC is open to students from Classes 5 to 10. The championship is conducted as a Computer-Based Test (CBT), providing students with early exposure to the format and discipline of national-level competitive examinations.
