Step-by-step instructions, all six puzzle types, saving and submission, scoring, and worked ranking examples.

When does the exam open?

5 November 2026 at 8:00 PM IST. Every attempt closes at 10:00 PM IST, including late arrivals. The 120-minute window cannot be paused or extended by refreshing. Sign in early and use a reliable connection.

Who can participate?

Students with an approved entry. Up to 200 places are allocated after manual review of emailed Nimzle Profile screenshots and performance. Registering or declaring an index does not guarantee selection. Shortlisting criteria and any age or education restrictions will be confirmed by Engagetal before approvals.

How is the exam scored?

60 challenges × 5 marks = 300 marks. A complete correct answer earns 5 marks; an incorrect, incomplete or unanswered challenge earns 0. No negative marking. You may revisit questions, clear answers and replay memory previews while time remains. All candidates receive the same paper.

How are ties and winners decided?

Rankings use total marks, then earlier final submission, then lower registration number for an exact tie. Expired attempts use the common 10 PM deadline as their submission time. The top 10 published ranks receive internships. Results are published after organiser review.

What if my connection drops?

Answers are saved automatically while connected. Check the save indicator; unsaved changes are not guaranteed. Reopen the exam on the same browser to recover a local draft, or reload the server-saved copy. Only answers accepted by the server before 10 PM count. Use one exam tab and one device.

What are the fair-play rules?

Complete the exam independently, without external help, automation or sharing questions. Do not alter score screenshots. This is an unproctored browser exam; Engagetal may seek clarification about submitted evidence before publishing rankings.

YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP DATA

Know what you share.

Registration records your name, email, institution, declared Nimzle index and consent. The exam stores answers, save history, submission times and scores. Organisers use these records and your emailed screenshots to select participants, administer the exam and resolve queries. Published rankings show your display name, entry number and score; they do not show your email or institution.
