About the Olympiad

Global Science Olympiad (GSO)

Science is a main-stream subject and a very interesting one with lots of scope to score very high. Up to Class 10, a student cannot do without science as it is mandatory in most syllabuses — whether CBSE, ICSE or any state board. GCS prepares question papers keeping in mind the syllabus of all kinds of boards so that even students from different syllabuses can score very high.

By appearing in this examination, a student will be able to face any future competition so far as science is concerned — building curiosity, analytical thinking, and a strong foundation from Class 1 to Class 12.
