What is different about Class 10?
Class 10 is a board year, so olympiad participation is a deliberate choice — most useful for students targeting competitive exams after school.
What if the school does not register my child?
Most olympiad bodies require the school to enrol students, which leaves a child out if their school does not participate. NextGen Olympiad can be entered directly by a parent. How to register without the school.
