India's National AI Readiness Benchmark for Students in Classes 5–12
Advancing AI Literacy and Measuring AI Readiness Across India's Schools
Students compete in separate class-wise categories from Classes 5 to 12, with an age-appropriate assessment designed for each class. The Olympiad evaluates three core competency domains — AI Literacy, AI Application, and Responsible AI & Governance — mapped to progressive competency levels within the AIQ Score™ Benchmarking Framework.
Question weights are balanced across these areas, tuned to each class group.
