How we check our questions
Updated on
Every OlympAI question is written with the help of AI for one chapter of your child’s NCERT book, and it has to pass automated checks before it can be served. Every question on a sample paper is also solved again by AI without being shown the answer, and the paper is not published unless the answers agree. There is no human review, and if a question looks wrong, your child can report it from the app.
Every question
1. Written for one chapter of your child’s book
Each question is made for a single topic of a single chapter in the NCERT book for your child’s class, with that topic’s chapter note in front of the AI as it writes. A topic gets questions only once its chapter note is finished, and a question tagged to a topic outside its chapter is refused.
Every question
2. Automated checks before a question can be served
A question that fails any of these is fixed automatically and checked again, or it stays a draft. Only questions that pass are ever shown to a child.
- The correct answer has to be one of the options.
- A question with more than one right answer has to mark at least two.
- Assertion–reason and match-the-following questions have to use the fixed format the papers use.
- The difficulty label has to fit the kind of thinking the question asks for.
- Every formula and symbol has to render correctly on screen.
- The question has to stay within length limits.
Every question on a sample paper
3. Sample papers: every answer solved again, blind
Before a sample paper is published, an AI solver works out every question on it again. It is given the question and the options, never the answer key, and it may say that no option is correct. If it disagrees with the key, a second, larger model solves the question again, and only that second solve can clear it. If the answers still do not agree, or the solver fails for any reason, the paper is not published and the question is flagged.
Every sample paper
4. Sample papers: the rest of the paper check
A sample paper is also checked as a whole before it goes live:
- Every question on it has passed the checks above and is not flagged.
- No question appears in two papers, and no two questions in one paper are near-copies.
- No option is blank or malformed, and the right answer is not given away by being the longest.
- Each question makes sense on its own, without a figure or passage it does not carry.
- Every question prints and displays correctly.
- The paper has a spread of easy, medium and hard questions.
Practice results and question screens
5. If something still looks wrong, report it
Automated checks catch the mistakes they are built to catch; they cannot prove every answer right. So the practice results sheet and the question screen in the app carry a Report button, with three choices: wrong answer or question, confusing wording, or something else. The report is saved against that question and listed with the other reported questions for correction.
What we do not do
Questions are written with the help of AI and automated checks, with no human review. Practice questions go through steps 1 and 2; the blind re-solve in step 3 runs on sample papers. We do not publish an accuracy figure, because we have not measured one we could stand behind.

The olympiad registrations closing soonest
Read off each body's own website, and the bodies we could check were last checked 22 October 2026. Most of these register through the school, so the date that actually binds you is your coordinator's — and it is earlier than the one below.
- 24 Oct 2026Depends on your school’s chosen date
SOF IHO (Hindi) — if your school picks 23 November 2026
If your school picks 23 November 2026, registrations must reach SOF by 24 October 2026.
SOF publishes a rule, not a deadline: "Schools may send registrations by 30 days before the chosen date of each exam." So this date only exists once your school has chosen a sitting — and SOF states that change of date is not permitted once it has.
- 27 Oct 2026Depends on your school’s chosen date
SOF IMO (Maths) — if your school picks 26 November 2026
If your school picks 26 November 2026, registrations must reach SOF by 27 October 2026.
SOF publishes a rule, not a deadline: "Schools may send registrations by 30 days before the chosen date of each exam." So this date only exists once your school has chosen a sitting — and SOF states that change of date is not permitted once it has.

No deadline at all — and no school needed
These bodies publish no registration cutoff, and each of them will register your child directly. That is a checked fact rather than a gap in our research — we say so on each body's row on the calendar, with the source.
