IT Department in association with School Education is going to organise ‘Udaan-2016’ to search information technology skills among the school children of the State. The competition would be for three categories of class 7-8, class 9-10 and class 11-12.
The tests would take place at school, district and State levels and registration for the first level can be done by October 8.
“The first level test would be conducted on October 26 while second on November 9 and third on November 14. Felicitation ceremony would be held on November 14. We are planning some sort of scholarship this time for the winners and their names would be kept in our database for further uses and help the students if they want to pursue their IT career,” said IT Secretary Sunil Kumar Barnwal.
The first level at school would take place on OMR sheet while the other two tests would be completely online.
IT Director UK Shah said that last time 81000 children and 1681 schools took part in the ‘Udaan’. “We are expecting 5100 schools taking part in the talent search exam. Also, the syllabus would be based on JAC’s exam,” he said.
