Rankings / 2nd Level Qualification
Criteria for 2nd level qualification and ranking for i-CAPE olympiads (IMO, ISO & IEO).
- 1
Top 10% class-wise
Top 10% of students, class-wise, who appear for the 1st level exam. In case of a tie of marks, priority will be given to marks scored in different sections to determine ranks.
- 2
School class topper
Class topper from each participating school where at least 10 students from a class appear in the exam and the topper scores 60% qualifying marks.
Ranking
Normally, a student scoring higher total marks will be accorded a higher rank.
However, if two or more students score the same total marks, a higher rank will be awarded to the student scoring higher marks in sections accorded higher priority.
Criteria for Ranking in 2nd Level Olympiad Exams
In 2nd level exams, ranks will be accorded on the following criteria:
Total marks scored in the Level 2 exam.
If two or more students score the same number of marks, ranks will be determined as follows:
- Marks scored in sections in the Level 2 exam accorded higher priority.
- Total marks scored in the Level 1 exam.
- Marks scored in sections in the Level 1 exam accorded higher priority.
- If two or more students still score the same under all categories above, they will be awarded the same rank.
Criteria for Ranking — Single Level Olympiad Exams
Where only a single level exam is conducted (or Level 1 results are treated as final), ranks will be accorded on the following criteria:
- Marks obtained in the exam.
- In case of a tie, ranks will be determined on the basis of marks scored in sections accorded higher priority.
- If two or more students still score the same under both criteria above, they will be awarded the same rank.
In case of any confusion, the decision of the i-CAPE Academic Council will be final and binding. A telephonic round of questions may be conducted at the sole discretion of i-CAPE to determine ranks.
Second level exams may be conducted based on prevalent conditions and feasibility across states at that time. If 2nd level exams are not conducted, results of the 1st level exams will be treated as final results.
An awards function may be conducted to felicitate international / national top rank holders. Due to logistics or other factors, only select awardees may be invited to attend. Awards and scholarships for other winners will be sent to their respective schools.
