In case more than one student score the same total marks, marks obtained section wise are considered to determine qualifiers for the 2nd level. Each section has different weightage in the following order:

The above cut-off marks are applicable to determine top 5% students class wise qualifying for the second level, to be held on 11th Feb 2024.
In addition to the above criterion, students also qualify for the second level Olympiads based on achievement in either of following criteria:
- Class toppers, where at least 10 students from a class appeared in the SOF IEO and score 50% or more marks
- Top 25 rank holders, class wise, from each Zone.
- For classes 1 and 2, SOF IEO is a single level exam.
What are the Different Criteria for Qualification?
There are three main criteria for qualifying for the IEO second level:
- Top 5% in your class: This is the primary criterion. If you score among the top 5% of students in your class, you qualify, regardless of your absolute marks.
- Class Toppers: If at least 10 students from your class appeared for the exam and you scored 50% or more marks, you become a class topper and qualify.
- Top 25 Zone Rank Holders: If you rank among the top 25 students in your class within your zone (region), you qualify irrespective of your overall class rank.
