Number of Students Selected in Each Criteria
To be considered for the next stage, students must first meet a baseline eligibility criterion by scoring at least 10% of the total marks (10 out of 100). After this minimum requirement is met, region-specific competitive cutoffs are applied separately for two categories.
Category A includes students of Classes 8, 9, 10, and 11, with the top 200 students from each region qualifying for the next stage.
Category B includes Class 12 students, with the top 40 students from each region qualifying. In addition to qualification for the next stage, a uniform cutoff of 24 marks is prescribed nationwide for the award of the IOQM National Certificate.
