<p> An 18-year-old boy from Bengaluru has bagged a bronze medal in the International Physics Oly-mpiad (IPhO) 2015, an annual competition in physics for secondary school students, that recently concluded in Mumbai.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Arindam Bhattacharya, who has cleared his class 12 exams this year from AECS Magnolia Maaruti Public School, was one of the five students selected among hundreds of students to represent the country in the Olympiad in which students from 86 countries participated.<br /><br /> Speaking to Deccan Herald, Arindam said he is passionate about Physics. He found the subject interesting while he was preparing for the JEE exams. Speaking about the test, Arindam said, “There were theoretical and practical components in the test. We had to answer 3 theoretical questions in five hours and had to complete two experiments in five hours. The question paper this time was heavily dependent on Optics,” he added.<br /><br />Arindham has now secured admissions to BS in Physics and Electrical Engineering at MIT, USA. The 46th edition of the International Physics Oly-mpiad was held between July 5 and 12 in co ordination with the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India, as stated in the IPHO 2015 website. Students for the International Olympiad were selected based on tests conducted at three different levels.<br /><br /></p>
