The India Spelling Bee is India’s largest spelling bee competition. It is a unique academic activity combining the virtues of education and the joy of learning. It also goes on to promote a healthy competitive environment among the school children of India.

The India Spelling Bee was designed by acquiring certain inputs gained from the past spelling bee experiences in India. Organizers of this bee consulted with both students and academicians, to make sure they were going in the right way.

How the Indian Spelling Bee works

Once you register through your school, your very first round will be an on-campus round. Winners from the on-campus rounds will move on to the regional rounds.

Schools are divided into four regions – north, south, east, and west. There will be winners from each zone who will then go on to the national finals.

The final rounds are always intense. The last remaining spellers will be declared as the winners. Note that each grade will have a champion, a first runner-up, and a second runner-up.
