It is a general notion that competitive exams outside schools such as Olympiads are often exclusive. In fact, they are designed keeping in mind only the students of exceptional merit. Well, this is far from the truth. Take the Hindustan Olympiad for instance, which is back with its 8th edition. It is open for all students spread across India from grades I to XII. It covers all subjects starting from science, maths, history, geography, literature, language and more. What’s more, it is a combination of challenging, medium-level and easy questions and is meant for one and all, not just the so-called best brains. It is a game-like platform, where&nbsp; there’s no added pressure even though the structure is like an exam. All one needs to do is stay relaxed and perform to the best of their abilities and at the end leave with performance assessment reports and participation certificates. And those who do a bit better than others, would stand a chance to grab cash scholarships worth INR 50 lakh, coveted trophies and exclusive media exposure.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Interested candidates can register for INR 200 <a href="https://www.hindustanolympiad.in/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a> till 22nd February. Scheduled to happen in both online and offline modes from 1st to 12th March, Hindustan Olympiad 2023 is powered by edtech platform SpeEdLabs, has Oswaal Books as its book partner and is presented by Amrita University. Sharing an insight, Br. Maheshwara Chaitanya, the Director of Admissions, Dy. Controller of Exams (Amritapuri campus) and Director (ICPC Asia Amritapuri) of Amrita University said, “Amrita University, ranked among the top 5 universities in the country is proud to partner with one of the top media companies in the country with great legacy. Through the Hindustan Olympiad 2023, Amrita will train and educate the future generation by imparting the 21st century skills and competitiveness. Partnerships are always fruitful when it serves as an avenue to mould the young, talented minds.”&nbsp;&nbsp;



The benefits of being a national level, fun competition like the Hindustan Olympiad are manifold. Here is why participating in an Olympiad right at the school level is a good idea.&nbsp;



An Olympiad takes students beyond school &nbsp; School students often do not meet the real competition unless they are sitting for their board exams. Unfortunately, most of them are not ready for this national-level test from in advance. That is why they suffer from exam fever and anxiety. In order to prepare them for state and national level competitions and help them fare well, Olympiads are the right step in the direction. They also help students prepare for other upcoming career-building competitive exams such as JEE, NEET and CAT, among others. Then there are other exams such as SAT, GRE, GMAT, IELTS and TOEFL, where the competition is at the international level. An Olympiad offers a taste of that, without the performance pressure. So, it’s simply a smart move to help kids go beyond school ahead of their school-leaving exams with the help of Olympiads.   &nbsp;



Helps students explore their areas of strength&nbsp; A school exam paper often lacks the scope to identify where exactly a student’s knack lies. This is where Olympiad comes into play and offers the advantage of identifying one’s own areas of strength. If a student loves Maths, Science, History, Geography or any other subject over and above others, participating in an Olympiad will help bring that out. It will also guide them to realise which field has more competition as well as better career scopes.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Boosts confidence and allows students identify knowledge gaps &nbsp; Olympiads motivate students who score more than they expected. Similarly, students who don’t score well also get the opportunity to address their areas of weakness at conceptual level and work on them. This helps all kinds of students to study with greater focus, build on their strengths, and catch up and bridge their knowledge gaps. Olympiads are often eye openers, not only for the participants, but also for everyone involved in their academic development.&nbsp;
