iOS – 2013
iOS builds a solid foundation for school students to excel
in Science based on ICSE,CBSE and State board syllabus. A comprehensive report
based on Olympiad examination enables students to delve deeper into their strengths
and weaknesses. It also motivates them towards excellence. iOS promotes Science talents from school to national and higher
levels by recognizing their merits and awarding them. iOS promotes participation of the teachers for the benefits of the
student community. Students judge themselves at international levels. The test
at local or regional level does not provide the right insight and judgment
about the challenges ahead.
