Olympiad is an exam conducted at the school level for children. It includes school curriculum. It is beyond school.  Some of the students feel preparing for this is a burden whereas few students make it their routine. We should see the positive side of everything, therefore parents feel, if their children give these tests then their children’s grades and their aptitude will increase.

The ranks of these students will be decided by the academic council.
The students with higher marks get a better rank. In case students’ marks have tied then ranks will be determined on the basis of marks scored in the achievers section. Even then if the rank cannot be decided then they will check which student has lesser time to complete the paper. Even then if the ranks are not satisfied then the date of birth is checked and the student who is younger will be given a better rank.
In the worst case, the academic council takes a decision.
