Why does EHF conduct Olympiads?

EHF is a registered trust and a not for profit organization aiming to increase students interest in English/Math’s/Science/Cyber and Biotech (EVS). One of the best way to generate interest in a subject is by conducting Olympiads and workshops.

How does a student benefit by taking EHF Olympiads?

Participants of the Olympiads are ranked on the basis of marks obtained. Hence, after taking the test, students can judge themselves academically at three different levels - within the school, state level, and above all at National/International level. Finally students are suitably awarded based on their national/International ranking. The student also gets work books & activity books or CD's at highly discounted rates and invitation to workshops, seminars etc.

What is the role of C.D. meant for the coordinator teacher?

The C. D. essentially contains brief information about the Olympiad, sample paper, activity & work, syllabus guidelines, preview of workshops, Pre-Olympiad Seminar (POS) slides shows etc. The C.D. will help the coordinator teacher to deliver a talk to the students about the Olympiad. The C.D. is also sent when the coordinator teacher has consented for Pre-Olympiad Seminar (POS).

What are the rewards for Coordinator Teachers, School and Principals?

The coordinator teacher forms the most important link between the student and the foundation. Besides the C.D. the teacher is eligible for coordinator award. Principal awards and grants for school lab/school magazine and other benefits are given to the principal/school. The incidental expenses that the school bears as an examination centre are covered in the Rs. 10 retained by the school from the exam fees.

What are the benefits of early registration for these Olympiads?
