Why students must participate in Olympiad exams?

Olympiads have become a buzz word among schools,
students and parents. Olympiad exams are
competitive exams conducted at school level by
various semi-government organizations and
non-profit organizations. Exams like IMO (Math's
Olympiad), NSO (Science Olympiad), IEO (English
Olympiad) have become quite popular. There has
always been a debate among students and parents
whether Olympiads being promoted at schools
nowadays by various private non-profit
organizations are real Olympiads or not. Without
jumping into the debate, I want to accentuate on
the point that these exams are equally important,
conducted at zonal, state, country or even at
international level are quite touch to crack.

to competitive world at a very young age. This is
again a mootable question where it is good for
kids to get exposed to exam pressure at such
early age. Being a parent, I believe that kids
have the capability to crack these exams and
parents should and encourage them to take these
exams sportingly. Achieving success in Olympiads
requires efforts both from student and parents.,
