1. Overview
Every Qolympiad sitting follows the same backbone: register → receive confirmation & admit card → report to the assigned centre → sit papers under invigilation → receive bands/ranks as per programme rules. Exact dates, room numbers, and multi-paper schedules are always printed on your admit card and in the centre notice for your batch — this page explains the general pattern.
2. Step-by-step process
- Choose programme & papers — Pick School or Scholar track and subjects on the registration form, or follow your school’s bulk instructions.
- Pay & submit — Complete payment as per the instructions sent after you submit. Keep the transaction reference.
- Confirmation — You receive confirmation by email and/or SMS with centre name, city, and batch / wave (e.g. morning or afternoon slot where applicable).
- Admit card — Issued before the sitting (typically a few days to a week ahead, depending on centre). It carries roll number, venue address, reporting time, paper list, and special instructions (OMR, stationery, etc.).
- Exam day — Arrive at reporting time, complete verification, take assigned seat, listen to instructions, write papers in sequence with scheduled gaps.
- Collection & exit — Answer sheets / OMR are collected by invigilators; students leave in an orderly manner as instructed.
- Results — Published as per the cycle communicated on the admit card or centre notice: Results area and/or centre handout.
3. Roll number & seating
Roll number
- Your roll number is unique for that centre + sitting + student. It is not the same as school admission number.
- It is printed on the admit card and often on desk labels or the seating chart at the venue.
- If you lose the admit card before the exam, contact the centre or official@qolympiad.com / phone +91 9413128045 immediately with registered mobile — we reissue where possible before gate closure.
Seating & batch size
- Seats are assigned by roll order in rows; invigilators direct you to the exact row and seat.
- How many students sit in one room depends on hall capacity and fire/safety norms at that venue. Typical ranges are on the order of 25–40 candidates per room, but your centre may use larger or smaller rooms — the total “how many rolls” for a city is simply everyone registered for that batch, split across however many rooms the centre opens.
- Mixed grades may share a hall with clear zone separation, or sit in separate rooms — your admit card states your room / block if applicable.
4. Reporting & paper timings
Authoritative time is always the one on your admit card. The table below is a typical pattern for planning (add ~30 minutes early arrival).
| Stage | Arrival | Briefing & settle | School track (paper) | Scholar track (6–10) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nursery – UKG | As on card | ~10 min · pictures / oral | One integrated block · ~30–40 min (no separate Scholar paper for tiny grades) | |
| Class 1 – 5 | As on card | ~15 min | ~40–55 min per paper | Scholar bundle: same day extra depth or scheduled paper — see card |
| Class 6 – 8 | As on card | ~15 min | ~60 min typical | ~75 min (+15 vs School) |
| Class 9 – 10 | As on card | ~15 min | ~75–90 min (incl. OMR where used) | +15 min vs School on same blueprint |
Multiple papers same day: There is usually a short gap (about 15–30 minutes) between papers for water and washroom — exact gap on admit card. Scholar students doing more than one deep paper may have a longer day; the card lists order and times.
5. Exam day — what happens
- Gate — Reach at reporting time. Late entry may be refused after the gate closes (printed on card).
- Verification — Admit card + school ID / parent ID as instructed. No admit card may mean no entry.
- Seating — Sit only on your assigned roll / seat. Bags and phones go where invigilators direct (usually switched off, not on desk).
- Instructions — Listen to timing, question paper handling, OMR bubbling if any, and extra-time rules.
- During paper — Raise hand for doubts on print quality only; no chatting. Bathroom breaks as per centre rule.
- Finish — Stop when told; hand in sheets in order; leave when dismissed row-wise.
What to carry: Admit card, pens (blue/black as specified), pencils, eraser, ruler where allowed; transparent water bottle if permitted. No smartwatches / phones on person unless a specific paper explicitly allows a device (rare). Geometry box only if the card says so for that paper.
6. Programme snapshots
These match the bundles on Exams & programmes. Fees and exact paper count are confirmed at registration.
Little Learners Pack (Nursery – UKG)
Picture cards, oral prompts, short attention-friendly tasks. Usually one sitting, no multi-hour day. Parent or escort policy is stated on the centre notice.
Primary Olympiad Bundle (Class 1–5)
Math, English, Science, GK / logic combinations as selected. Papers are shorter than middle school; may be same morning or split across two visits depending on bundle — see admit card.
Middle Mastery (Class 6–8)
Integrated subjects plus olympiad-style practice. Expect 60 min (School) or 75 min (Scholar) per major paper. Mocks may be scheduled on separate dates inside the annual plan.
Secondary Board-ready (Class 9–10)
Timed series, board-weighted mix, OMR optional per paper. Longer stamina day possible; reporting time may be earlier for double-paper days.
Scholar Stretch (Class 3–10)
Deeper items and optional city percentile where the centre participates. +15 minutes in Classes 6–10 vs School track on comparable papers. May share a hall schedule with other grades but always follow your own admit card times.
7. After the exam
- Processing time varies by cycle — your admit card or centre WhatsApp/SMS gives the expected window.
- Results show bands / ranks as per track; they are not board marks. See Terms for limitations.
- Queries on score or re-check follow the centre’s declared window; contact Contact Us with roll number and centre name.
8. FAQ
- How many students sit in one hall?
- It depends on room size and safety norms. Many venues use roughly 25–40 candidates per room, but your admit card shows your batch, room/block, and reporting time.
- How do I get my roll number?
- After registration, the centre generates a unique roll for that sitting. It is printed on your admit card.
- What if I am late?
- Doors may close at the reporting time on the card. Plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.
- Are calculators allowed?
- Only if the admit card explicitly allows them for that paper. Otherwise use rough work on the question paper or sheet provided.
- How many papers in one day?
- Usually 1–3 depending on your bundle. The exact order and gaps are on the admit card.
