For Classes 2 to 10, ranking is determined using the following criteria:
Total marks obtained in the examination.
If students have the same marks, the student who completes the examination in less time receives the higher rank.
If the tie continues, the younger student based on date of birth receives the higher rank.
Since the examination can be conducted on different days and sessions with different question sets, ranks are normalised across sessions.
If students still have the same score under the applicable criteria, they receive the same rank.
The Academic Council's decision is final in case of any unresolved issue related to ranking.
No ranks are declared for KG and Class 1 because the examination is parent or teacher-assisted.
Students who score more than 60% receive a Certificate of Excellence and a Medal.
The awards and recognition depend on the student's class, score, and performance criteria. For eligible participants from Classes 2 to 10, recognition may include:
Scholar's Trophy and Certificate of Excellence
Gold Medal and Certificate of Excellence
Certificate of Excellence
Certificate of Appreciation
Certificate of Participation
If a student meets more than one award criterion, the higher applicable award is considered.
For KG and Class 1, students scoring more than 60% receive a Certificate of Excellence and a Medal. Other participants receive a digital Certificate of Participation.
Students should prepare their devices before the examination.
Laptop or desktop
Working webcam
Stable internet connection
Updated browser
Quiet place for the examination
