Students cannot register directly with SOF. Registration is completed through their schools.
Important registration points:
Schools can choose only one exam date for each Olympiad.
The selected exam date cannot be changed later.
Schools should submit registrations at least 30 days before the chosen exam date.
Schools may register for all Olympiads together or send separate registrations for different exams.
The second-level exam will be held only for selected Olympiads.
Students from Classes 3 to 12 who qualify in the following exams will appear for the second level:
SOF International English Olympiad (IEO)
SOF International Science Olympiad (ISO)
SOF International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO)
The second-level exam dates are expected to be announced in December 2026. The exams are likely to be held on the second or third Sunday of February 2027.
If the second-level exams cannot be conducted for any reason, the first-level results will be treated as the final results.
The following Olympiads will have only one level:
SOF International General Knowledge Olympiad (IGKO)
SOF International Computer Science Olympiad (ICSO)
SOF International Social Studies Olympiad (ISSO)
SOF International Hindi Olympiad (IHO)
SOF International Commerce Olympiad (ICO)
Students appearing for these exams will receive their final result based only on the first-level examination.
Students should check with their schools to know which exam date has been selected. Since schools can choose only one date, students should prepare according to the schedule shared by their school.
Students should also complete their registration before the last date set by their school. Those appearing for IEO, ISO, or IMO and qualifying in the first level should be ready for the second-level exam in February 2027.
Preparing early and following the official exam schedule can help students perform well in the Olympiad exams.
