STEM Olympiad Syllabus 2026: Check Class-Wise and Subject-Wise Topics

The STEM Olympiad is organised around subjects that help students develop their understanding of mathematics, science, technology and engineering. The official syllabus is divided by grade level, allowing students to identify the topics relevant to their class before beginning their preparation.

The STEM Olympiad Syllabus covers Mathematics and Science for Grades 1–12, while Technology and Engineering is listed for Grades 7–10 and Grade 11. Each subject has a separate syllabus that students can access through the official website. Reviewing these topics helps students understand the scope of the examination and organise their studies accordingly.
