National Olympiad in Informatics

NOI Preliminary (Online) is open to all students from Grade 7 to 13 (Secondary 1 to A-Levels/ STPM) residing in Malaysia.

What is NOI?

The Singapore National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) is modelled after the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), the ultimate international competition in computing (Informatics is the European term for computer science). NOI emphasises creativity in problem solving on the one hand, and programming skill and expertise on the other.

On a wider scope, NUS hopes that the competition will spur interest within the school community, and create more awareness among the students and teachers on the finer points of programming, which is not merely writing a piece of code, but involves useful algorithmic techniques and problem-solving skills. This aims to equip the students with knowledge beyond that of a mere IT application user, in line with Singapore national goal of creating an IT-savvy nation.

SIMCC offers registration for students in Grades 7–13 from over 50 countries to compete in the Singapore NOI Online Preliminary.

NOI consists of a five-hours session in which each contestant is required to individually solve and program a solution to each of the four to five programming tasks (with subtasks of varying difficulties). The solutions are judged according to their correctness (i.e. whether they produce the correct answers) as well as the resources used (i.e. producing the answers within a time, memory, and/or other special limits). The actual time spent on programming will not be taken into account in the evaluation.

Why join NOI?

NOI offers an exceptional opportunity for Grade 7 to 13 (Secondary 1 to A-Levels/ STPM) to develop valuable informatics skills and compete for an award that could grant you entry into the prestigious National University of Singapore School of Computing (NUS SoC). NUS is ranked among the top 8 universities globally, with NUS- SoC standing as the 6th best computing school worldwide. As one of the most sought-after faculties at NUS, SoC’s competitive annual enrollment of 1,500 undergraduates makes it a top destination for aspiring computer scientists.

For those who have pursued advanced computing courses, this competition provides an excellent platform to show- case your skills and increase your chances of admission to NUS SoC, along with the possibility of receiving a scholar- ship to Asia’s leading computing school.
