- Schools must register on the NIPUN Sankalp portal with a sign-up window that runs through August 25 and verify student records before testing.
- OMR procedures require teachers to fully fill sheets for Classes 2–3 while teachers fill student details and Part B for Classes 4–8 and pupils complete Part A.
