How the 60-minute paper fits IB & IGCSE students
15 min
General knowledge
India and the world, science around us, history, geography, sport and the environment — stable facts a curious student in that standard should know, whatever their board.
15 min
Life skills & character
Short real-life situations — a friend in trouble, a stranger online, a mistake to own up to — where the student chooses the kind, honest, safe or sensible thing to do.
30 min
English language
Vocabulary in context, grammar, listening to spoken English, reading, building sentences, writing a few lines — and reading a sentence aloud, marked for clarity and pronunciation.
- Matches inquiry-led learning: no rote textbook questions, focusing instead on inference, tone, expressive writing and global/Indian awareness.
- Open to Grades 1 to 12 across all IB World Schools and Cambridge International Schools in India.

Answers
Questions IB & IGCSE parents ask
Can IB & IGCSE students in any class from Standard 1 to 12 apply?
Yes. Every student in Standard 1 to Standard 12 studying under International Baccalaureate (IB PYP, MYP, DP) & Cambridge Assessment International Education (IGCSE / AS & A-Level) is eligible. Each standard has its own separate merit list, so a Class 4 student competes only with other Class 4 students.
Does the exam require special coaching outside the IB & IGCSE syllabus?
No outside coaching is needed. The 60-minute online paper tests 15 minutes of age-appropriate General Knowledge, 15 minutes of Life Skills & Character, and 30 minutes of English (vocabulary, reading, listening, writing and reading a sentence aloud).
What does every IB & IGCSE participant receive, and what do winners get?
The exam registration fee is ₹199. Every student who takes the exam immediately unlocks free LangVR learning courses worth ₹25,000. Top scorers on each standard's merit list who clear the verification interview receive ₹1,000 every month for 12 months (paid on the 5th of each month), a verifiable certificate, a memento, and winner courses worth ₹1,00,000.
How is the BRETS & ANOQR Scholarship Exam a benchmark for student evaluation?
Unlike rote school tests or MCQ-only Olympiads, this 1-hour exam evaluates how a child actually listens, reads for inference, writes in their own words, speaks English aloud (scored by AI for clarity without accent bias), knows the world around them, and makes ethical life choices.
