Who is Quest 2026 for?

Quest 2026 is open to any student seeking admission to Grade 7, 8 or 9 at Yajur Public School for the 2026-27 academic year. You don't need to be a current Yajur student. You don't need to live in Warangal. The test is fully online and can be taken from home.

• Grade 7 admission — for students completing Class 6 in 2025-26.
• Grade 8 admission — for students completing Class 7 in 2025-26.
• Grade 9 admission — for students completing Class 8 in 2025-26.
• Open to students from CBSE, ICSE, Telangana state board, Oxford International Curriculum or any other recognised curriculum.

Format — what 60 questions in 60 minutes actually looks like

Quest 2026 is a 60-minute, 60-question, multiple-choice online test. Each question has four options and one correct answer. The questions are distributed across four subjects:

• English — 15 questions (reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar).
• Mathematics — 20 questions (arithmetic, geometry, algebra basics, word problems).
• Science — 15 questions (physics, chemistry, biology fundamentals at grade level).
• Social Studies — 10 questions (geography, civics, history at grade level).

Syllabus — what to study

Quest 2026 is pitched at the syllabus of the grade the student is currently completing. In other words:

• Grade 7 candidates — Class 6 syllabus across English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies.
• Grade 8 candidates — Class 7 syllabus.
• Grade 9 candidates — Class 8 syllabus.

The test is curriculum-neutral. Questions are designed so that students from CBSE, ICSE, state board or any other framework can attempt them without bias. The emphasis is on core concepts that every reasonable Class 6, 7 or 8 syllabus would cover.

How to prepare — a 4-week plan

Four weeks is enough preparation time for most students who are doing reasonably well in their current school. Here's a structured plan:

Week 1 — diagnose

1. Take a full-length mock test in one sitting, timed.
2. Score it section by section.
3. Identify the two weakest sections and the two strongest.
4. Don't beat yourself up over the result — it's a diagnostic, not a verdict.

Week 2 — fundamentals in weak areas

1. Spend 4 to 5 days going back to the textbook chapters where you struggled.
2. Solve 10-15 practice questions per chapter, untimed.
3. Ask a parent, teacher or sibling to explain anything you don't understand.

Week 3 — speed and accuracy

1. Solve 30-question mini-tests in 30 minutes each, alternating subjects.
2. Focus on not getting stuck on one question for more than 90 seconds.
3. Review every wrong answer carefully — patterns matter more than individual mistakes.

Week 4 — full mocks and rest

1. Take two more full 60-question, 60-minute mocks across the week.
2. Review wrong answers from each.
3. Stop revising 24 hours before the actual test.
4. Sleep well, eat normally, and trust your preparation.

Subject-wise strategy

English (15 questions, ~12 minutes)

• Read passages once carefully, then attempt questions — don't re-read for each question.
• Vocabulary questions are quick wins — don't linger.
• For grammar, eliminate the obviously wrong options first.

Mathematics (20 questions, ~25 minutes)

• Easy questions first — don't follow the order on the screen if you don't have to.
• Use rough paper for working — don't try to solve in your head.
• If a question takes more than 90 seconds, flag it and move on.

Science (15 questions, ~15 minutes)

• Conceptual questions are usually easier than they look.
• For numerical questions in physics or chemistry, check units carefully.
• Biology questions are mostly definitional — answer quickly.

Social Studies (10 questions, ~8 minutes)

• Geography questions often have a clear right answer — trust your knowledge.
• Civics and history may have similar-looking options — read each option fully.

Exam day — practical checklist

1. Test the internet connection and the device 24 hours in advance.
2. Take the test on a laptop or desktop where possible, not a phone.
3. Choose a quiet room with stable Wi-Fi and a backup hotspot if available.
4. Keep rough paper, a pen and water on the desk.
5. Log in 10 minutes before the start time.
6. If the connection breaks during the test, contact support immediately.
7. After submitting, take a screenshot of the confirmation message.

Results and what they mean

Results are announced within a few days of the test. Each candidate receives a score and a rank. Top scorers are eligible for fee waivers for the 2026-27 academic year, with the exact waiver tier depending on rank. Quest 2026 is not the only path to admission — students who don't qualify for a scholarship can still apply for admission through the regular process at Yajur Public School.

After Quest 2026 — the admission process

If you've qualified for a fee waiver through Quest 2026, the next steps are:

1. Receive the formal admission and scholarship offer in writing.
2. Visit the Yajur Public School campus in Kazipet (recommended).
3. Submit standard admission documents — birth certificate, Aadhaar, previous mark sheets, TC.
4. Confirm admission by paying the applicable fee (post-waiver).
5. Onboard for the June 2026 academic year start.

Frequently misunderstood things about Quest 2026

• It's not coaching-class hard — students doing reasonably well in their current school can prepare comfortably in 4 weeks.
• It's not Warangal-only — students from any city can take it online.
• It's not a verdict — students who don't qualify for a scholarship can still apply normally.
• It's not a gatekeeper — Quest 2026 unlocks fee waivers, but doesn't decide admission alone.
