Two types of teams were formed: School Teams and Wild Card (WC) Teams

School Team Selection Criteria

The top 4 students from each participating school (with more than 4 participants above the minimum benchmark) were selected.
- If marks of 2 or more candidates were the same, the number of question based on difficulty level was checked. The candidate which answered more difficult questions was selected.
  - If the difficulty level of questions attempted by 2 or more candidates were the same, the candidate who was in a lower class got selected.
    - If the classes were same as well, some candidates were transferred to a Wild Card Team.

Wild Card Team Selection Criteria

Teams of candidates who are:

Either not among the top 4 in their school but their marks are above the minimum benchmark
Or there are less than 4 students from their school but their marks are above the minimum benchmark
