Artificial Intelligence Olympiad

The international AI Olympiad is a visionary academic initiative aimed at equipping the next generation of learners with a solid foundation in the transformative field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Developed in alignment with modern educational goals and global technology trends, this Olympiad is not merely an academic contest, it is a structured learning journey that fosters curiosity, creativity, and digital fluency in students from an early age.

Through this platform, students are introduced to key AI concepts such as machine learning, data handling, coding fundamentals, neural networks, and digital ethics in a manner that is age-appropriate and engaging. These topics are designed to stimulate critical thinking, encourage logical reasoning, and enhance computational thinking — skills that are essential for academic success and future career readiness in the digital age.

The international AI Olympiad serves as a gateway to future-ready learning. It empowers students to go beyond their textbooks and interact meaningfully with real-world problems through project-based learning, practical coding exercises, and ethical discussions around the responsible use of technology.

By participating in this Olympiad, students gain hands-on exposure on how AI is transforming our world, from smart assistants and predictive tools to healthcare innovations and sustainable technologies. This not only enriches their classroom learning but also prepares them for higher education,

competitive exams, and 21st-century careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

In essence, the international AI Olympiad is a launchpad for young innovators, nurturing their ability to think, build, and lead in an AI-driven future.

Olympiad Level 1 – AI Olympiad

The international AI Olympiad is conducted in a single level (Level 1) and is open to all students from Classes 3 to 9.

Examination Format

The AI Olympiad is held during regular school hours and is conducted at the participating students’ schools. It is designed to be student-friendly, concept-oriented, and fair.

Key features of the exam structure include:

• Each class will receive a separate and class-specific question paper to ensure appropriate difficulty levels.
• All questions are objective-type (Multiple Choice Questions).
• There is no negative marking, encouraging students to attempt all questions confidently.
• The exam duration is 40 minutes, making it suitable for the school timetable.

The question paper is grade-specific and consists of the following sections:

(i) Section 1: AI

(ii) Section 2: Scholar’s Zone

Medium & Scheduling of Examination

The International AI Olympiad is conducted only in English to maintain a standardised assessment format and ensure clarity in technical terminology used across all classes. The Olympiad is held once a year and is conducted during school hours to ensure student convenience and maximum participation. Each participating school can select one of the two proposed dates for conducting the Olympiad. Both dates will have separate sets of question papers, ensuring exam integrity and flexibility in scheduling.
