Awards & Prizes
Recognising and rewarding young talent across India. Every achievement deserves celebration.
BHO honours 20% of the total participants (class-wise).
Our Prize distribution ceremony plays an important role to motivate students in a different way like never before. We honour students with trophies, merit certificates, and cash prizes.
Result & Award Criteria
Each question is worth 2 marks. A correct answer earns 2 marks, leaving it blank results in 0 marks, and a wrong answer receives 0 marks.
💡 It is recommended to leave the question blank if you are unsure.
Your rank in class is based on your individual score for your class.
Out of a class size of 35 students, 20% of them (7 students) will be awarded.
Higher scores result in higher ranks. For example: If A scores 76, B scores 74, C scores 70, and so on, then the ranks would be A (Rank 1), B (Rank 2), and rest top 5 will be awarded. Rank 1 and Rank 2 will get trophies & certificates and 5 others will get consolation trophies.
In case of tied scores (when two or more students have the same score), the number of incorrect answers is considered. Fewer incorrect answers lead to a higher rank.
Tied Scores Example
Example: If A, B, and C all score 76 marks:
Result: C has the highest rank (Rank 1) because they have fewer incorrect answers. A and B will have the next ranks (Rank 2 and Rank 3).

Tie-Breaking Rules
Ranks are only shared when all conditions for two or more students are identical.
If two students have the same score and the same number of incorrect answers, they will share the same rank.
If a third student has a lower score, they will receive the next available rank, skipping the rank that would have been assigned to the tied students.
📌 Example:
76 marks, 5 incorrect
Rank 176 marks, 5 incorrect
Rank 1 (Shared)74 marks, 4 incorrect
Rank 3*Rank 2 is skipped because it would have been assigned to the tied students.
