·      Performance Analysis report based on SEAMO performance will be an unique takeaway.

·      A key attraction in this unlike other Olympiads that students gets to identify their weaknesses; improve upon them; and will exhibit enhanced performance in successive competitive exam.

·      Enables right career decision suitable for a child out of possible career options available, though not directly but SEAMO gives an insight to the skill base of a child.
