Olympiads

Olympiads are not merely an added exam in your curriculum rather it is a mode to understand the concepts more effectively. However, despite having many advantages, Olympiads are still considered as an added routine and many students don’t give due attention to it. Also, there are many uncertainties as far as the preparation of Olympiads is concerned. We receive many queries each day stating, “How to prepare for Olympiads?” or “What is the time that I should allocate for the Olympiad preparations?” Preparation for any Olympiads is not time-based; it is more based on your learning capabilities and efficiency to grasp any concept. Therefore, despite making it an added routine to follow, Olympiads should be made a habit from a young age. Also, it is high time now that students should start taking Olympiads as an enhanced way of learning, rather than just an exam for fun & parents along with the schools should encourage them to do that.


Another reason parents should encourage their children to make Olympiads a habit early on is to make them realise their capabilities. Routine studies tend to become boring after some time. Therefore, Olympiads are a great pedigree to manoeuvre their reasoning and academic brilliance. Olympiads not only help them in realising their actual area of strength but also helps them in enhancing their analytical abilities. Olympiads are a great source to test the student’s level of knowledge, reasoning power, and logical thinking outside the unchanging school curriculum and helps in bringing the best out of them.


Today the world has grown by leaps and bounds. Competition is the need of the hour to sustain yourself in this Rat Race world. Therefore, Olympiads are a great way to teach school students “the art of facing competition”. Making Olympiads their habits will ensure they reach their best every time and, also, it will enhance their potential each time they compete. Olympiads like Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO), Indian National Junior Science Olympiad (INJSO), National Science Olympiad (NSO), International Maths Olympiad (IMO), etc. prepare students for the real world competition and grow them mentally strong. It also sharpens their coherent reasoning potentials. Acute study plans & a systematic approach will always result in good results in these exams.
