“There is no glory in practice, but without practice there is no glory,” is apt for all and sundry, including students. After all, it’s through dedicated and focussed practice that one can achieve real success, not just in exams but in life as a whole. Practice makes students more confident, improves their learning outcomes and directs them towards perfection. And what better way to practise than participating in a competition such as Olympiad
Keeping this in mind, Hindustan Times is back with yet another edition of Hindustan Olympiad, one of the largest Olympiads of the nation. Meant for students of grades I to XII, the 8th edition of Hindustan Olympiad is scheduled for March 2023 in both online and offline modes. For the online mode, the Level 1 of this Olympiad is scheduled to take place 1st to 3rd March 2023, while Level 2 will be conducted on 12th March 2023. The offline exams will take place from 1st to 3rd March 2023. The key focus is overall academic development of students through a healthy and engaging and competition. Scholarships worth INR 50 lakh are for the taking. Candidates can register here for INR 200.

Each participant of Hindustan Olympiad 2023 will also receive a free career guidance e-book from SpeEdLabs.
Practice helps reduce the anxiety and fear of exams, boosts confidence and makes one familiar with what comes next. It also highlights gaps in knowledge and spaces out the overall learning process. Actually, practice is an exam before real exam wherein one can analyse their performance and develop better study and exam strategies. Taking this into account, SpeEdLabs will also provide free login access to their Learning App to the Olympiad toppers of grades VI to XII. It will be valid for the academic year 2023-2024. There are also other special offers in store. For instance, CBSE and ICSE students of grades VI to X (for Science, Maths, English and SST) can have access to the app for just INR 1200 instead of the usual INR 12000. Similarly, 11th and 12th graders pursuing IIT-JEE, NEET UG and CA can earn access the app for just INR 1500 as opposed to the usual INR 20000 plus. All these initiatives are in line with SpeEdLabs’ mission of enabling students to learn, practise live, understand better and score higher.
