What is INAIO?
What is INAIO?
The Indian National AI Olympiad (INAIO) is being organized by ACM India in partnership with ACM IKDD to select the best young AI talent to compete on the global platform. Our vision is to make India AI-ready by fostering young talent and encouraging innovation in artificial intelligence among school students.
INAIO selects students through a national AI Olympiad and prepares them to compete in International Olympiad in AI (IOAI), the most prestigious annual competition in AI for high school students.
Why Participate ?
Why Participate ?
Participating in both INAIO and the IOAI offers numerous benefits, including international recognition, scholarships, and opportunities for higher education. Many prestigious colleges and universities offer direct admissions to students who are selected for certified international Olympiads such as IMO and IOI, and this is likely to be the case with IOAI as well in the upcoming years. This is a unique chance for students to showcase their talents, learn about cutting-edge technologies, and connect with like-minded individuals globally.
