OKCL Olympiad Movement

OOM is acronym for ‘OKCL Olympiad Movement’
OOM offers state level competitive examination, examining the academic quality of the students of BSE(Board of Secondary Education, Odisha) for 8th, 9th & 10th standard( Odia medium Students).

In addition to the school subjects, OOM makes it easy to understand if the student has ability to apply the knowledge gained in real life, and whether he/she can use the information acquired in one subject, while understanding the other subjects. Students will also have the opportunity to learn through assessment. The students will have the experience of solving challenging as well as innovative questions which will drive their intellect.

Eligibility

Students of BSE(Board of Secondary Education, Odisha) for 8th, 9th & 10th standard( Odia medium Students) can appear for the OKCL Olympiad Movement (OOM).
• Separate OOM exams will be conducted for each standard.
• Students from each standard must appear for the same standard of OOM.
E.g. The 9th grade student should take the OOM contest for class 9th only. Marks secured after taking the different standard’s exam will not be taken for granted.

Exam Syllabus

OOM Exam Syllabus will be as per Board of Secondary Education, Odisha. In addition to the School Subjects, there will be questions from Personality Development that are based on common sense, moral values, communication skills as well as soft skills (events in the school world as well as their emotions in the age group of the children).

Exam Pattern

OOM Exam Pattern:
• The exam will be conducted online.
• The exam will take place at OKCL’s ALC, through the MKCL ERA system on scheduled dates.
• Each student will be given detailed information after logging in, before the examination. Then the exam will begin.
• For each class, there will be a single paper consisting questions from all subjects.
• There will be question group consisting questions from all the subjects. E.g. There will be a questions group of 6 questions as the number of OOM exam subjects for class 8th/9th/10th is 6, as shown in the syllabus table.
• During exam, after solving the first question-group, the second question-group for each question from all the subjects will appear in front of the student. One after the other question groups will appear for one hour in a row.
• If some of the questions in one question group is not answered, the student can go ahead by keeping that question unanswered and again go back and resolve the question. In the one-hour exam period, he may leave questions unanswered, if he does not know the answer to it.
• Every student has to solve as many questions as he/she can in the given 1 hour time. As the student continues to solve the questionnaire, more and more questions will come and he/she can score more and more marks as they progress till the time is up. When the two hours are over, the next questions will stop and the exam will end automatically. Not all will have the same and limited number of questions like other traditional question papers. Therefore, there will be a lot of potential for the talented students to establish new Olympic like numbers by solving as many questions as possible.
Question Type for OOM Exam:
• Multiple choice questions with multiple right options, multiple choice questions with only right option, apply pairs, move the columns up and down among multiple columns to show the relevant options in one line, fill in the blanks, questions based on images, pictures, phonics or video games, sorting, ordering words, word puzzles, picture puzzles, etc.
