Exam Highlights and Important Dates

Levels of the National Space Science Olympiad in 2022

Unlike a few other EduHeal tests, such as NISO, NIMO, and others, which are administered on three levels, NSSO is administered on only two levels. Students will take the level 2 exam, which is a computer-based exam, right away. There is no exam on paper.

Each student will get a prize and a certificate, which will be forwarded to their respective schools. Telephonic interviews will be held in chosen situations or cases of tie-ups.

There will be no more levels unless a sponsor or linked group requests it, in which case, the next level will be handled according to their needs. The sponsor or a related group will present the level 3 awards.

There will be no negative marking, and each question will be worth one mark. If more than one student receives the same grade, the following marking preference will be used:

• Subject questions come first, general IQ questions, and interactive questions.
