SAT & TOEFL Olympiad 2025 Registrations Open for Classes 9–12
2 Min Read
Registrations are now open for the SAT & TOEFL Olympiad 2025, offering students in Grades 9th to 12th across all education boards in India a chance to test their readiness for global higher education. Scheduled for 6th and 7th September 2025, the online Olympiad comes with scholarships worth lakhs, free preparation courses, SAT & TOEFL fee waivers, and other rewards designed to support students on their study abroad journey.
The event is organised in collaboration with the College Board (SAT administrators), ETS (owners of TOEFL and GRE), Galvanise Global Education, and partners specialising in admissions counselling and profile building. Participants will experience a simulated SAT or TOEFL test environment and receive detailed performance analyses to identify strengths and improvement areas before attempting the official exams.
Open to students from CBSE, ICSE/ISC, IB, IGCSE, and state boards, the Olympiad aims to familiarise Indian students with internationally recognised testing formats and help them gain a competitive edge for university applications abroad.
“TOEFL is accepted by more than 13,000 institutions in over 160 countries, including the UK, USA, Canada, Germany, and Australia,” said Sachin Jain, Country Manager – India & South Asia at ETS. “This Olympiad allows students to assess their readiness while unlocking scholarship benefits.”
Students and schools can register at www.satolympiad.org. Group bookings for schools are available. With substantial scholarships and resources on offer, the Olympiad presents an important opportunity for Indian students aspiring to pursue higher education in India or abroad.
