Aryabhata Ganit Challenge Syllabus 2026-27 | CBSE AGC Exam for Classes 8, 9 & 10

The CBSE will organise the Aryabhata Ganit Challenge (AGC) 2026-27 in two levels. Both levels follow a uniform pattern: a one-hour exam comprising multiple-choice questions (MCQs), with a total of 40 marks and no negative marking. The Aryabhata Ganit challenge assesses students across key areas of mathematics like Number Sense, Algebra, Mensuration, Geometry & Spatial Sense, Data Analysis & Probability, and Quantitative Aptitude while evaluating essential skills such as Conceptual Understanding, Logical Reasoning, Analytical Thinking, Problem-Solving, Strategic Approach, Visualisation & Mathematization, and Creative & Abstract Thinking.

The first Level 1 (school-level) is an offline, pen-and-paper test conducted by individual schools using a question paper provided through the CBSE portal. The top three performers from each school then advance to Level 2 (national-level), which is held online via a computer-based format.
