Round Details

All four rounds are built around physics only — covering the same core topics with increasing depth and complexity as you advance.

Round 1 First Round June 20

The opening round covers the fundamental laws of physics: mechanics, waves, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics. Questions are straightforward and formula-based — think F = ma level, where direct substitution is all you need.

⚡ F = ma level — direct substitution
Round 2 Second Round June 22

The same curriculum as Round 1 — mechanics, waves, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics — but problems demand a deeper conceptual understanding and a slightly higher level of difficulty. Expect more multi-step reasoning and less direct lookup.

Higher level
Round 3 Semi-Final June 24

The difficulty climbs further. Problems in this round begin to rely on calculus — derivatives and integrals are part of the solution process — making this a true calc-based physics experience. Strong analytical skills and mathematical fluency are essential.

Round 4 Grand Final June 27

The ultimate challenge. The level in the Final Round reaches olympiad territory — expect problems that require deep physical intuition, creative problem-solving, and advanced mathematical tools. Only the most prepared teams will shine at this stage.
