A national stage only means something if the judging can be trusted.
Criteria first
You know exactly how you will be scored before you compete.
Independent judging
Entries assessed against the criteria, with consistency checks across the field.
How judging worksDistance is irrelevant
Online-first, so a student in a small town competes on the same terms as anyone.

When does registration open?
31 August 2026, 9:00 AM IST. Add your email above and we will alert you the moment it goes live. Preparing carefully and then missing the opening is the most common way students lose a season, so it is worth setting the reminder now.
Who can take part?
School students across India, typically Classes 6 to 12. Exact eligibility for each arena and level is published when registration opens. Your school, your city and your medium of instruction do not change the terms you compete on.
Which arenas can I enter?
Eight: Science & STEM, Mathematics, Creative Writing, Art & Design, Coding & AI, Quiz & GK, Innovation & Projects, and Public Speaking. If you are eligible you may enter more than one.
Is there a fee?
Any applicable fee is shown clearly when registration opens, with no hidden charges added later. Our Refund Policy explains how cancellations are handled.
What do I get for taking part?
Every participant who completes the competition receives a verifiable Certificate of Participation. Top performers in each arena receive Certificates of Achievement recording their placement, plus medals and awards. Every certificate carries a unique ID and a QR code, so a school or scholarship board can confirm it independently — that is what makes the recognition worth something outside our own website.
How is it judged?
Independently, against criteria published before you compete, with consistency checks that keep scoring even across the whole field. You always know how your work will be assessed in advance. See how judging works for the full method.
How do I prepare while I wait?
Pick your arena first, then build the specific skills it rewards rather than revising everything at once. The free Study Hub has notes, flashcards, timed tests and printable papers with no login, and the Preparation Guide lays out a practical week-by-week system.
Can my school enter a group?
Yes, and it is designed to be simple. A coordinator shares the opportunity with eligible students and helps them enter together. For many students the nudge from a teacher is what turns a competition they would never have found into a defining experience. See Schools and Teachers.
