3.3. Summer camps. (1) Summer camp at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai from May 9th to June 17th, 2005. The topic was Groups, Representations and Algebras. The instructors were Professor V.S. Sunder, Dr. K.N. Raghavan, and Dr. Amritanshu Prasad. (2) Microsoft Research Summer School on Algorithms, Complexity and Cryptography from May 22nd to June 10th, 2006, at the Indian Institute of Science. The coordinators were Ramaratnam Venkatesan (Microsoft Research) and Professor Pandu Rangan (IIT Chennai). The webpage is: http://math.iisc.ernet.in/~imi/sacc.htm The list of selected candidates is available at: http://math.iisc.ernet.in/~imi/downloads/weblist.pdf (3) Visiting Students Research Programme at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, from June 15th to July 14th, 2006. Professor Dipendra Prasad was the coordinator and he was also my guide. I studied the paper Lie Group Representations of Polynomial Rings by Bertram Kostant. The list of selected students is available at: http://www.math.tifr.res.in/~vsrp/selected.html (4) I was among three students from CMI selected for the ENS-CMI Exchange Programme to be held from May 2, 2007 to June 29, 2007 at Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris. In the exchange programme, I studied about Schubert varieties, Hecke algebras, and related topics under the guidance of Professor Olivier Schimann. 4. Other important achievements/activities/awards 4.1. Olympiads. (1) I represented India at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2003 held in Tokyo, Japan. I scored 23 points out of 42, the highest in the Indian team, and secured a silver medal. (2) I represented India at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2004 held in Athens, Greece. I scored 30 points out of 42, the highest in the Indian team, and secured a silver medal. My scores in both Olympiads can be checked by searching for Vipul Naik (case sensitive, enter without quotes) on the IMO Compendium search page: http://www.imo.org.yu/index.php?options=gl|imotres&p=39v_31 (3) I qualied the Zonal Informatics Olympiad 2004, a national inter-school examination where approximately 5000 students participate and 200 are selected. (4) I was placed in the top 1% of approximately 31,000 participants for the National Standard Examination in Physics. 4.2. Scholarships. I have won the following scholarships: The National Talent Search Examination (NTSE) scholarship. I won this scholarship based on an entrance-test-cum-interview selection. The Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) scholarship. This scholarship was instituted by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, to promote excellence in pure science. The scholarship covered all my under-graduate study expenses. 4.3. Other school-level competitions. I secured an All India Rank 10 in the Screening Test and an All India Rank 158 in the Mains of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). 3

I was placed in the top ten for my class for the four consecutive years (Classes 8, 9, 10, 11) that I participated in the National Science Olympiad, an annual competition in which over 1500 schools participate. I secured the rst rank twice. I represented and won prizes for my school at numerous inter-school mathematics and programming competitions. 5. Teaching experience/writing articles 5.1. Olympiad-related training. At the request of regional and national co-ordinators, I have taken classes training high school students for Olympiad-related mathematics. (1) The Association of Mathematics Teachers of India conducted a ten-week training camp on problem-solving for the Olympiads, from August to October 2005. I gave eight lectures in the camp to students from standards 9 to 12. I also conducted lectures/problem sessions in later camps organized by AMTI. (2) I gave Medalists sessions at the International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp, in years 2004 and 2005. (3) I spent one day training the outgoing International Mathematical Olympiad team for 2006, at the Pre-departure camp. I conducted three problem sessions. 5.2. Articles and problems. I wrote an article on combinatorial identities that was published in Samasya, a mathematical problems journal. A geometry problem I created was sent by Indias Mathematical Olympiad Cell as a proposal for International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 2006. It was later used as Problem 1 of the rst Team Selection Test for Indiafor the 2007 IMO. 6. Examinations for Graduate School application 6.1. General GRE. I sat for the General GRE on September 14, 2006. My registration number is 3034524. My scores are: Section Marks obtained Total marks Percentile Quantitative 800 800 94 Verbal 690 800 96 Analytical writing 6.0 6.0 96 6.2. TOEFL iBT. I gave the TOEFL iBT on October 8, 2006. My scores are: Section Marks obtained Total marks Speaking 29 30 Listening 29 30 Reading 29 30 Writing 29 30 6.3. Subject GRE. I gave the Subject GRE on November 4, 2006. My scaled score is 880/990 and my percentile is 97.
