IGKO

The International General Knowledge Olympiad (IGKO) is a school-level olympiad conducted by the Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF), a leading non-profit organisation promoting competitive academic exams in India. IGKO tests students on general awareness, current affairs, life skills and everyday knowledge across a wide range of topics. Conducted once a year for students of Classes 1 to 10 through participating schools, the olympiad is held in an objective format and recognises top performers with medals, certificates and scholarships.
