The Olympiad exam is conducted each year by the Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF). Science Olympiad Foundation is an academic organisation that promotes the scholastic development of students and facilitates them in honing their skills in the right direction. The main objective of the Science Olympiad Foundation is nurture scientific outlook among students through several competitions and Olympiads. It endeavours to cherry pick and encourage young scholars who aim to become future scientists, IT professionals, and other experts.

The SOF conducts a myriad competitive exams which include National Science Olympiad, National Cyber Olympiad, International Mathematics Olympiad, International Company Secretaries Olympiad, International General Knowledge Olympiad and International English Olympiad.

National Science Olympiad (NSO) seeks to analyse the mastery and proficiency of the students by testing their basic knowledge through questions related to Science at both national and international standards. The Olympiad aims to refine scientific reasoning and logical ability among the students. The National Science Olympiad enables them to assess their academic growth by providing them the opportunity of competing with students from all over the country. The students participating in the Olympiad are ranked on the basis of marks obtained in it.

The syllabus mainly includes the syllabus of CBSE/ICSE and many other State Boards. This exam is exclusively based on Science, which delivers a great opportunity to the students not only to assess their aptitudes but also to hone them in the right direction according to the international standards. The exam is conducted at two levels. The participants of NSO are ranked on the basis of marks obtained in first level. After attending the first level of the test, students can evaluate themselves at four different levels- within the school, at city level, at state level and above all at International level on an academic basis. Students who participate in this Olympiad also obtain a Student Performance Report (SPR) that benefits them to get a detailed performance comparison.

(b) State wise top 25 rank holders class wise, and

(c) Class topper from each participating school where at least 10 students from a class appear in the exam & scores 50% qualifying marks.
