BY ACCESSING OR USING THE PLATFORMS, PARTICIPATING IN THE ITHINKERS OLYMPIAD, OR ALLOWING A STUDENT TO PARTICIPATE, EACH USER — INCLUDING SCHOOLS, STUDENTS, PARENTS AND GUARDIANS — ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING READ AND ACCEPTED THIS DISCLAIMER IN ITS ENTIRETY. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ANY PART OF THIS DISCLAIMER, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE OF THE PLATFORMS AND PARTICIPATION IN THE OLYMPIAD.

2.3
Testimonials, school rankings, participation statistics, and recognition references published on the Platforms reflect historical data at the time of publication and may not represent current figures. Such content is provided for illustrative purposes only.

Examination Results & Finality

⚠️ Results are Final: All examination results, rankings, scores, and award decisions issued by Fivesep are final and binding, subject only to the limited appeal process described in the Terms & Conditions (Clause 9.3). No external review, re-evaluation, or third-party verification of results is permitted.
3.1
Examination results are generated based on the SAC ID marked on the OMR sheet submitted by the student. Fivesep accepts no responsibility for incorrect, incomplete, or illegible entries on OMR sheets, including wrong SAC IDs, uncleaned erasures, or multiple markings.
3.2
Results do not constitute academic credentials. iThinkers Olympiad results, ranks, and certificates are recognition awards only. They are not official academic qualifications, marks statements, or board-recognised certifications. They cannot be submitted as academic credentials for admission, scholarship, or examination purposes with any school board, university, or government authority.
3.3
Rankings are relative, not absolute. A student's rank in the iThinkers Olympiad reflects their performance relative to other participating students in the same subject and class. Rankings are not a measure of a student's absolute intelligence, academic ability, potential, or worth as a learner.
3.4
Results are subject to verification. Fivesep reserves the right to withhold, revise, or cancel any result where there is reasonable evidence of malpractice, impersonation, or examination misconduct, at any time — including after initial publication of results.
3.5

Question Paper Accuracy & Syllabus Changes

4.1
All iThinkers Olympiad question papers are developed by Fivesep's academic team in alignment with school board syllabi (CBSE, ICSE, and State Boards as applicable). However, Fivesep makes no representation that questions will be drawn exclusively from any particular board's syllabus, and questions may include real-life application scenarios that go beyond standard textbook content, consistent with our philosophy of nurturing critical thinking.
4.2
School board syllabi are subject to revision by the respective boards at any time. Fivesep shall not be held responsible for any discrepancy between examination content and a student's specific board syllabus arising from board-initiated curriculum changes after our paper preparation.
4.3
In the rare event of a typographical error, ambiguity, or factual error in a question paper identified after the examination, Fivesep reserves the right to: (a) award full marks to all participants for that question; (b) exclude the question from scoring; or (c) apply any other corrective measure that Fivesep considers fair. Fivesep's decision in this regard shall be final.
4.4
The answer keys published by Fivesep are final. Challenges to answer keys will not be entertained except where a demonstrable printing or technical error is reported in writing within the appeal window specified in the Terms & Conditions.

Fivesep reserves the right to modify the reward framework at any time before results are declared.
5.2
Certificates are recognition awards, not official certifications. iThinkers Olympiad Gold, Silver, and Bronze certificates, participation certificates, and all school-level awards are recognition documents issued by Fivesep Pvt. Ltd. They are not endorsed, approved, or issued by any government body, school board, university, or statutory authority.

Emotional Quotient (EQ) Subject — Special Disclaimer

⭐ Important — Please Read Carefully

Emotional Quotient Disclaimer

This section contains critical protective information for parents, students, and schools regarding the Emotional Quotient (EQ) subject offered by iThinkers Olympiad.
📋 Official EQ Disclaimer — as displayed on the iThinkers Olympiad EQ Subject Page

The Emotional Quotient (EQ) assessment is an indicative tool based on student responses and does not constitute a psychological evaluation or clinical assessment. Results may vary due to response patterns, interpretation, or situational factors at the time of the test.

iThinkers Olympiad shall not be held responsible for decisions made solely based on this report. Parents and educators are advised to use the results as a reference point for further observation and guidance.

The above is iThinkers Olympiad's official position. The detailed clauses below expand upon it and provide the full legal framework governing the EQ subject — including what the assessment is, what it is not, and the responsibilities of schools, parents, and Fivesep in relation to EQ results. The official statement and the detailed clauses below must be read together.
🎓
Educational Purpose Only
The EQ paper is an educational activity intended to introduce students to concepts of emotional awareness, self-reflection, and interpersonal skills — as part of holistic learning under NEP 2020.
🚫
Not a Clinical Diagnosis
An EQ score from the iThinkers Olympiad does not diagnose, screen for, or indicate the presence or absence of any psychological condition, emotional disorder, or mental health concern.
❤️
Not a Measure of Mental Health
A student's EQ score reflects their responses to situational questions in an educational examination context only. It does not assess, measure, or reflect the student's actual emotional or mental health status.
🤝
Not for Comparison or Labelling
EQ scores and results must not be used to label, compare, categorise, or stigmatise any student. Every child's emotional journey is unique and cannot be captured by a single examination score.
6.1
Indicative Tool — Educational and Awareness Purpose: As stated in the official EQ disclaimer above, the iThinkers Olympiad Emotional Quotient (EQ) assessment is an indicative tool based on student responses. Results may vary due to response patterns, interpretation, or situational factors at the time of the test. The EQ examination is designed to introduce students in Classes 3–10 to foundational concepts of emotional awareness, empathy, self-regulation, and interpersonal skills — aligned with the holistic development objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. It is not a psychological test, not a personality assessment, and not a measure of emotional intelligence as defined in clinical or research psychology literature.
6.2
No Diagnostic Validity: The iThinkers Olympiad EQ examination and its results, scores, ranks, and certificates have no clinical, diagnostic, or therapeutic validity. They are not validated psychological assessments. They cannot and must not be used for any clinical, therapeutic, educational placement, or special needs assessment purpose. Any use of the EQ results for such purposes is entirely at the user's own risk and Fivesep expressly disclaims all responsibility for any such use.
6.3
Not a Reflection of Mental Health: A student's performance in the EQ examination — whether high, average, or low — is not a reflection of their emotional wellbeing, mental health, or psychological condition. A lower score does not indicate a mental health concern, emotional disorder, or problem requiring intervention. A higher score does not guarantee emotional resilience or social competence in real life. Parents and educators are strongly cautioned against drawing clinical or behavioural conclusions from EQ examination results.
6.4
No Stigmatisation or Labelling: Schools, teachers, parents, and students must not use EQ results to label, stigmatise, compare, rank emotionally, or categorise any student in any manner. The EQ examination is designed as a reflective and awareness-building activity, not as a competitive or comparative measure of emotional worth. Fivesep strongly discourages any communication to students that suggests their EQ score makes them "emotionally superior" or "emotionally deficient" compared to peers.
6.5
Question Design: The EQ examination questions are designed around general situational and scenario-based prompts appropriate for the student's age and class. Questions do not seek to elicit sensitive personal information about a student's family circumstances, trauma history, or mental health. However, students' individual responses to situational prompts may naturally draw on personal experience. Participation in the EQ examination is entirely voluntary at the school's discretion.
6.6
Content Development: The EQ syllabus and question content are developed by Fivesep's academic team, drawing on established educational frameworks for social-emotional learning (SEL) appropriate for school-aged children. The content is inspired by, but not directly derived from, any proprietary or commercially licensed psychological assessment instrument (such as the EQ-i 2.0, Bar-On EQ Inventory, or similar tools). Fivesep does not claim that its EQ examination is derived from, endorsed by, or equivalent to any such proprietary tool.
⚠️ Important Message for Parents & Guardians:

If you have any concern about your child's emotional wellbeing, mental health, or social development — whether or not related to their EQ examination result — we strongly encourage you to seek support from a qualified mental health professional, child psychologist, or counsellor. The iThinkers Olympiad EQ examination is not a substitute for professional assessment, and Fivesep is not equipped to provide guidance on individual students' emotional or psychological needs.

Your child's overall wellbeing matters far more than any examination result.
6.7
School's Responsibility: Schools that offer the EQ subject to their students are responsible for communicating this disclaimer to parents and guardians before registration and before results are shared. Schools must not present EQ results as psychological assessments or use them in any manner that could be stigmatising or distressing to students.
6.8
Results as a Reference Point Only: As stated in the official EQ disclaimer, iThinkers Olympiad shall not be held responsible for decisions made solely based on the EQ report. Parents and educators are advised to use EQ results as a reference point for further observation and guidance only — not as a definitive assessment, diagnostic conclusion, or basis for any significant decision regarding the student. Fivesep expressly disclaims all liability arising from any misinterpretation, misuse, or inappropriate reliance on EQ examination results by any school, student, parent, educator, healthcare professional, or third party.

Financial Literacy Subject Disclaimer

Subject Disclaimer
💰 Financial Literacy
The Financial Literacy subject offered by iThinkers Olympiad for Classes 3–10 is designed to introduce foundational concepts of personal finance, money management, savings, and economic awareness in an age-appropriate educational format.
7.1
Not Professional Financial Advice: All content, questions, answers, and explanations in the Financial Literacy examination and practice materials are for educational and awareness purposes only. They do not constitute professional financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, or any regulated financial service. Fivesep is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser, AMFI-registered mutual fund distributor, or financial planning professional.
7.2
Financial concepts, examples, interest rates, tax rules, and regulatory frameworks used in the examination are based on general financial literacy principles and may be simplified for educational purposes. They may not reflect the latest regulations, rates, or market conditions. Students, parents, and schools must not rely on examination content for actual financial decisions.
7.3
For any actual financial decision — including investments, insurance, tax planning, or savings — please consult a qualified financial adviser registered with the appropriate regulatory authority.
8

Cyber / AI Subject Disclaimer

8.1
Rapidly Evolving Field: The fields of Cyber Technology and Artificial Intelligence evolve at an extraordinary pace. While Fivesep's academic team makes every effort to ensure that the Cyber/AI subject content is current at the time of question paper preparation, Fivesep cannot guarantee that all content will remain accurate or up to date by the time of examination or result declaration.
8.2
Specific technologies, platforms, software versions, regulatory frameworks, and AI capabilities referenced in the examination are selected based on their educational value and relevance at the time of content creation. References to specific tools, companies, or technologies do not constitute an endorsement by Fivesep, and users should not rely on examination content as a guide to current industry practice.
8.3
Cyber safety and digital literacy content in the examination is designed for general educational awareness. It does not constitute professional cybersecurity advice, legal compliance guidance, or a comprehensive guide to online safety. Parents should supplement students' digital safety education with current, platform-specific guidance.
9

GK & Mental Ability Disclaimer

9.1
The GK–Mental Ability subject is designed to test general knowledge, logical reasoning, and cognitive skills appropriate for the student's class. General Knowledge content is curated based on commonly taught topics in Indian school curricula; however, the scope of GK may extend beyond any single board's prescribed syllabus.
9.2
Current affairs content included in GK questions reflects events and developments as known at the time of question paper preparation, which may precede the examination date by several weeks or months. Students are advised that some answers may be subject to subsequent developments not reflected in the question paper.
9.3
Mental Ability scores are not IQ assessments. Performance in the Mental Ability component of this examination is not a validated measure of a student's intelligence quotient (IQ), cognitive ability, or learning potential. The Mental Ability section is an educational exercise in logical and analytical reasoning. No clinical or psychological conclusions should be drawn from a student's Mental Ability performance.
10

Practice Portal Content Accuracy

10.1
The Practice Portal at practice.iThinkersOlympiad.com provides subject-wise practice questions, mock tests, performance analytics, and educational content intended to support students' Olympiad preparation. All practice content is provided "as is" and for educational purposes only.
10.2
Practice portal content, including questions, answer explanations, and performance feedback, is designed to aid learning and is not guaranteed to be identical to or indicative of actual examination questions. A student's practice portal performance is not predictive of their actual examination result.
10.3
Fivesep reserves the right to add, remove, update, or modify practice portal content at any time without notice. Content that was available during a student's preparation period may be revised or removed prior to or after the examination.
10.4
Performance analytics and progress reports generated by the Practice Portal are indicative tools for learning. They reflect performance on practice items only and should not be relied upon as authoritative assessments of a student's subject knowledge or examination readiness.
