Frequently Asked Questions
How does a student benefit by taking IMO?
Participants of Olympiads are ranked on the basis of marks obtained. Hence, after taking the first level of the test, students can judge themselves academically at four different levels – within the school, at city level, at zonal level and above all at International level.
Each student is provided a Student Performance Report (SPR). The SPR analyses the strong and weak areas of the student and also gives a detailed performance comparison of the student vis-à-vis other students at School, City, Zonal and International level. Analysis of the student’s past 10 years’ performance is also provided.
Who are all eligible to sit for the IMO?
Students of classes 1 to 12th are eligible to appear for the 1st level IMO. There is no other eligibility criterion like minimum marks. Students who qualify for the 2nd level exam include.
