Taking the online Olympiad test(s). All the years till date, we conducted our annual Olympiads in Schools/Test Centres, under the supervision of Teachers/Invigilators. This year, keeping in mind the safety of students, on the COVID-19 background, our Olympiads will be conducted online. And so this year, the parents will play the role of invigilators keeping an impartial vigil. In some cases, the parents may have to assist the student in getting started, but only till that.
Once the exam starts, we solicit parents’ impartial vigil and unbiased support and cooperation for the smooth conduct of this year’s Olympiads. And in the role of an invigilator, we trust that every parent will ensure that his/her child doesn’t take any help during the exam, so as to assess the true potential of the student.
