The 11th edition of the Innoventure National Challenge 2025–26 witnessed remarkable participation, with over 1,28,000 students from more than 1,500 schools across India and the UAE. Focused on fostering innovation, creativity, and problem-solving skills among students aged 6–15 years, the challenge concluded with a prestigious National Finale held on 31 January 2026 at NICMAR, Pune. The event was organised by the Innoventure World Foundation in collaboration with Education World, E-Cell IIT Hyderabad, CII, Yi, and other esteemed institutions.
The competition journey was structured across three rigorous stages. Round 1 was a proctored online challenge where students appeared for the assessment using a laptop or desktop with a stable internet connection, following detailed instructions available on school and student dashboards. Students who qualified progressed to Round 2, an online interview that evaluated critical thinking, decision-making, idea generation, and communication skills. Those who successfully cleared both rounds were selected for the final Mega Round conducted at NICMAR, Pune.
Our students left the jury and guests truly impressed with innovative ideas ranging from AI-powered fake news detection tools to practical solutions addressing street-side challenges and natural disaster rescue. We are extremely proud to share that our school secured Rank 6 (CBSE Board) in Maharashtra in the School Ranking and Awards.
We also extend heartfelt congratulations to our students for their outstanding individual achievements:
