NOTICE

The NYPT2025 Evaluation-II will be held at NASA College, Tinkune, Kathmandu during April 10-12, 2025.

Welcome to the Second Nepal Young Physicists’ Tournament 2025. It is the second time Nepal will be hosting such tournament to select students for the The International Young Physicists’ Tournament (IYPT), sometimes referred to as the “Physics World Cup”. It is a scientific competition between teams of secondary school students. It mimics, as close as possible, the real-world scientific research and the process of presenting and defending the results obtained.

This competition is not a pen-and-paper competition but an enactment of a scientific discussion (or a defense of a thesis) where participants take the roles of Reporter, Opponent and Reviewer and are evaluated by Jury members.

The beauty of this tournament is that teams can take quite different routes to tackle the same problem. As long as they stay within the broadly defined statement of the problem, all routes are legitimate and teams will be judged according to the depths reached by their investigations.
