Paper Pattern & Guidelines

The contest will be held at the participant's own institute. The Head of the institute will serve as the Chief Examiner.

The Chief Examiner/Coordinator must provide invigilators with the GCS Guidelines and a copy of the contest schedule at least two days prior to the contest date.

Invigilators must be appointed from the institute's teaching faculty. A ratio of one invigilator for every 25 participants must be maintained.

The Chief Examiner/Coordinator is solely responsible for assigning seats to candidates. Unregistered students may not participate without express prior consent from GCS.

Only registered candidates and authorized supervisors are permitted in the exam room during the contest.

Invigilators must monitor candidates without causing undue disturbance. Their primary duty is to prevent copying and any form of unfair practice.

No assistance may be given on exam content. If a participant does not understand a word or phrase, invigilators are not permitted to explain, interpret, or answer any questions related to the content.

If an invigilator suspects a candidate is attempting to cheat, they must inform the Chief Examiner/Coordinator immediately and should not confront the student directly.

For suspected use of unauthorized materials (notes, books): The invigilator must immediately confiscate the material. The candidate must be allowed to continue the contest. The incident must be reported to the Chief Examiner/Coordinator at the end of the exam.

Question papers and related materials will be dispatched via courier to the Head of the Institute at least three days before the contest.

Non-Receipt: If materials are not received within this timeframe, the Chief Examiner must immediately contact the GCS Event Manager by phone or email.

Secure Storage & Opening: All materials must be stored securely under lock and key. Envelopes containing question papers may only be opened by the Chief Examiner/Coordinator on the contest date.

Tampering: Any broken or tampered seal must be reported to the GCS Event Manager immediately.

Photocopying: Prior photocopying of question papers (for shortage purposes) requires the Chief Examiner's permission. Photocopying of answer sheets is strictly forbidden.

Return of Materials: All unused contest materials must be returned to Global Champs Services.

Absentees: Clearly mark "ABSENT" on the answer sheets of absent students and include them with the shipment to the Event Manager.

The contest begins nationwide at 10:30 AM sharp.

Institutes are not permitted to alter this schedule without explicit prior authorization from GCS.

In case of unavoidable circumstances, the GCS Program Coordinator must be contacted immediately for guidance.

Verify the accuracy of the official attendance sheet(s) provided by GCS. This must be completed and returned with the answer sheets.

Only candidates whose names appear on the official attendance sheet are permitted to participate.

Prepare the hall

Remove or cover all helpful teaching materials from walls and boards. Space desks at least one meter apart. Ensure a visible wall clock is present. Display a board showing the start and end times.

The Chief Examiner will open the question paper envelopes in the contest hall in the presence of participants.

Allow participants five minutes to fill in their particulars on the answer sheets. They may read the questions during this time but must not write any answers or notes.

An invigilator must read all printed instructions on the question paper aloud clearly. Clearly announce the official start time and the duration of the test.

Give audible warnings when five minutes and one minute remain.

Upon announcing time's up, all writing must cease immediately. No further review of the paper or changes to answers are permitted.

Collect all answer sheets before candidates leave the room. Ensure all required information on the front page is completed in BLOCK LETTERS.

Invigilators must sign the attendance sheet(s). Sort answer sheets by contest level.

Pack the answer sheets and attendance sheet(s) into the original envelope and seal it. Ship the package via a reliable tracked courier service on the same day.

GCS reserves the right to conduct unannounced inspections at any test center.

Participating institutes must cooperate fully with GCS representatives.

If arrangements are found to be non-compliant with required transparency standards, GCS may declare the contest void and cancel the institute's registration.

Follow all invigilator instructions promptly.

Arrive at the center at least 20 minutes before the start. Candidates arriving more than 30 minutes late may be barred from participating, with admission at the sole discretion of the Chief Examiner.

Bring your own blue or black ink pens, pencils, and any explicitly permitted materials. Ensure instruments like rulers or calculators have no extraneous writing.

No communication with other candidates is permitted.

Do not leave the contest hall unescorted for any reason, including using the washroom.
