Where it all begins
Every invention, every breakthrough, every solution to a problem that changed the world started with a simple question
WHY?
It pushes us to
01
Questionwhat we see.
02
Explorewhat we don’t understand.
03
Buildsolutions for the future.
For the first time in India.
To celebrate and nurture this spirit of questioning and exploration, Rishihood University presents the National Curiosity Olympiad 2026 — a national challenge designed to test how students think and how aware they are.
What makes this Olympiad different
