Strong participation from State Board schools, along with good representation from CBSE, ICSE, and IGCSE schools.
More than 40% of all exam attempts achieved Merit or Distinction.
Students from Tier-2, Tier-3 cities and government schools showed impressive performance, aligning with our mission of equal opportunity.
Highest participation was observed in Grades 6, 7 & 8.
Note on Toppers
We have chosen not to publicly mention the names of toppers or their specific states/schools. This is to fully respect the privacy of our young participants, who are minors. We celebrate the success of every single student privately and congratulate all achievers.
Heartfelt Thanks
The success of the 2026 Pilot would not have been possible without the collective support and enthusiasm of many.
We extend our sincere gratitude to:
School Principals and Management
Olympiad Coordinators and Teachers
Parents who encouraged their children
All the Students who participated with curiosity and dedication
Thank you for believing in our vision and making the first edition of Indian Pinnacle Olympiad a memorable success.
