About Spelling Bee
1. The contest aims to promote the use of our popular languages and to enhance the orthographic abilities of the students. It includes two main subjects Hindi & English. It provides a comprehensive and complete evaluation which is based on different aspects of language like vocabulary, phonetics, grammatical skills, analytical points and understanding of given context. The Competition is particularly framed to polish and improve the language capabilities of learners at various levels.

The International Scholar's Olympiad consists of two rounds: the Screening Round and the Scholar's Round. To be eligible for the Screening Round, students must be enrolled in a UDISE-registered school in their respective class. To qualify for the Scholar's Round of the International Scholar's Olympiad, a participant must secure at least 50% marks in the Screening Round.
