Ranking Criteria for Unicus General Knowledge Olympiad (UGKO)

The Unicus General Knowledge Olympiad (UGKO) is an international online awareness exam for students of Classes 2 to 11. Held every summer, it covers a broad range of topics such as history, geography, current affairs, sports and world events, with the emphasis on understanding rather than recall. The MCQ paper has two sections: a Classic Section on the practical side of General Knowledge and a Scholar Section on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). As UGKO starts from Class 2, there is no parent-assisted class: every participant is ranked on the criteria below, with a tie on marks broken first by the time taken and then by date of birth.
