Part 1: Registration Process for Olympiads
If your child's school is already registered with the Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF), there's no need to worry about the registration process. The school will Take Care of it on their own. However, if your child's school is not registered, you will need to register your child individually. To do this, you can visit the SOF World website. Once you land on their landing page, you will find all the necessary information regarding registration, exam schedules, and guidelines.
To register individually, You need to click on the "Registration by Students" tab. On the registration form, you will be required to fill in details such as your child's school name, address, phone number, and other Relevant information. Make sure to enter your own mobile phone number and email address, as it will be used to send important information and updates from SOF. If you plan on purchasing books directly from MTG (the recommended resource provider), you can provide your complete address details on the form.
The registration fee is Rs.150 per subject per child. If your child is participating in multiple subjects, the fee will multiply accordingly. Once you have filled in all the necessary details, including your book preferences, you can proceed to submit the form and make the payment through the provided payment gateway. You will receive a confirmation link and message in your email, stating that your registration is successful.
