Entrance Test for GSI camp Jan 23
The Geological Society of India (GSI) will conduct an entrance test here on January 23, 2011, as part of its nationwide exercise covering 58 districts, to choose 20 students of Class X and XI for attending a training camp at GSI, Bengaluru, in May 2011. Chennai and Salem are the two other exam centres in Tamil Nadu.
A GSI press release said  the camp will encompass lectures, discussions and field work. The Indian National Earth Science Olympiad will be held after the camp. Four students from the participating 20 will be selected to represent India at the fifth International Earth Science Olympiad (IESO) in Italy during September 2011. The GSI has received a generous grant from the Ministry of Earth Sciences, New Delhi, for the purpose.
It said candidates born between September 15, 1993 and September 15, 1996, can appear for the entrance test. Applicants should not have won a prize in an earlier IESO.
