TEJAS stands for Talent Exploration for Junior Aspiring Scholars. It is an educational initiative of the Department of Holistic Education aimed at identifying students’ talents, encouraging their abilities and developing knowledge, logical thinking, linguistic proficiency and technological awareness among schoolchildren.

DHE began its Olympiad journey in 2025 with the DHE English Olympiad, which witnessed enthusiastic participation from more than 10,000 students. Encouraged by the positive response from schools, teachers and students, the department has expanded the Olympiad series this year to include three subjects—Mathematics, English and Future Tech.

Under TEJAS Olympiad 2026–27, students from Classes 3 to 10 will be eligible to participate in Mathematics and English, while students from Classes 6 to 10 can participate in Future Tech.

The examinations will be conducted on the following dates in December 2026:

*Mathematics Olympiad: December 9, 2026
*English Olympiad: December 10, 2026
*uture Tech Olympiad: December 11, 2026

The Olympiads will be conducted offline at participating schools. Special TEJAS Olympiad preparation books will also be made available in all three subjects to help students prepare effectively. In addition, the department is working towards providing online mock tests to familiarise students with the examination pattern, question formats and difficulty levels.

TEJAS Olympiad is not merely an examination but an initiative to identify young talent, nurture curiosity and provide students with opportunities to develop their abilities. DHE aims to expand the initiative to schools across the country and bring more students under its ambit.
