Open to undergraduate and postgraduate students from all streams, the Olympiad has been designed to challenge the participants to put their analytical skills, decision-making abilities, and teamwork to test.

The competition will follow a dynamic, multi-stage format.

The final Championship Level Problem Solving round will have participants stepping into a mega puzzle arena.

Aimed at students in the 18–24 age group, the Red Hat Brainiac Champion Olympiad goes beyond conventional testing. It seeks to identify students with strong logical thinking, collaboration, and strategic reasoning skills; capabilities increasingly demanded by industry and higher education institutions alike.
