  • Q.4keyboard_arrow_rightIs there a likelihood of cheating if students take exam from home?

    We can't rule out possibility of students using unfair means. In fact, cheating does take place in school environment as well. It all depends upon the personal integrity of students and parents.

    We think that these Olympiad exams are stepping stones to larger and more competitive exams later in life. The basic intent of these exams is to give a flavour of competitive exams to students who are deprived of similar exams in their schools.

    The best we have done is that, all our exams are webcam monitored. So, in case, any student is found using unfair means will be disqualified without notice. Few pointers which can lead to the disqualification of the student

    • Someone sitting with the child (except for Classes KG and 1).
    • Student's face isnot completely visible in the camera.
    • Someone else is accessing the test.
    • Using a calculator during the exam.
    • Using mobile or any electronic device during the exam.
    Note that this list is non-exhaustive hence the students should make sure that they are taking the exam in complete fair means failing which may lead to disqaulification.

    In case, you aren't comfortable with the idea of taking such exams from home, we would request you not to register.

    Also, do note that the exams for Class KG-1 students will be parent/teacher assisted as these exams are just to give the kids a flavour of how competitive world is/will be. The parent/teacher can help the little champ in understanding the question and then the child can answer the question based on his/her ability.
