Srinivas Kalluri said the organisation had been at the forefront of educational assessment for over 28 years. He added that the Olympiads were designed to test conceptual understanding, analytical ability, and problem-solving skills rather than rote learning.
He said detailed performance reports help students and schools identify learning gaps and improve outcomes. The Unified Council is also recognised as India’s first ISO 9001 certified organisation in educational testing.
During the 2025–26 academic year, more than 1 million students from Classes 1 to 10 participated in the Olympiads, with representation from over 30 countries. These included Malaysia, Singapore, the United States, Canada, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, Russia, Bahrain, Qatar, and Tanzania.
At the समारोह, 250 top-ranking students from across the country were awarded gold medals, laptops, tablet PCs, and cash prizes for their performance.
