The International English Olympiad (IEO), conducted by the Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF), is a prestigious English language competitive exam that aims to test the knowledge and understanding of students from Classes 1 to 12. The exam is held in two levels – Level 1 and Level 2, offering students the opportunity to showcase their English language skills on a global platform. With a two-level structure, the SOF IEO offers a comprehensive examination process. Level 1 consists of multiple-choice questions designed to test students’ logical and English language reasoning. The top-performing students from Level 1 move on to Level 2, where they face a more rigorous examination. Level 2 includes a diverse range of challenging questions that require students to demonstrate their problem-solving skills and English language aptitude. In this article, we will provide you with a detailed overview of the SOF IEO exam registration process.

SOF IEO 2024-25 Registration/Application Process

The registration/application process for the SOF IEO exam is conducted offline for class 1 – class 12. Students cannot register individually for the SOF IEO Olympiad; they have to register through their respective schools as SOF only take applications via the registered schools.

Any school can register as a centre for the SOF IEO Level 1 without having to pay any registration fee. All registered schools receive a prospectus containing the registration forms. Schools that are not yet registered can request the prospectus by contacting the Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF) via email at info@sofworld.org or by calling 0124-4951200. It is essential for schools to fill in the registration forms accurately and completely. These forms should be returned to SOF by the specified due date. By following this process, schools can ensure their participation in the SOF IEO and provide their students with the opportunity to showcase their scientific skills and compete at various levels.

The school’s coordinating teacher plays a crucial role in the registration process by filling out the School Registration Form (SRF) and Students’ Registration Sheet (SRS) according to the provided guidelines. Once completed, these forms are then submitted to the Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF) before the specified submission deadline. Upon receiving the SRF and SRS, SOF proceeds to generate roll numbers for all the students who have been registered. The roll numbers are generated based on the information provided in the Students’ Registration Sheet (SRS). This systematic approach ensures that each registered student receives a unique identification number, facilitating their participation in the SOF IEO examination.

The last date for SOF IEO (International English Olympiad) registration varies each year. It is recommended to visit the official website of Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF) or contact their customer support for the most up-to-date information on registration deadlines.

IEO Registration Fee
