The Class 3 Mathematics Scholarship Examination—conducted under the primary education framework associated with the Board of Secondary Education (BSE) Odisha and the Directorate of Elementary Education—is a state-level competitive exam aimed at identifying and rewarding mathematically inclined young students in primary schools. 1. Core Objective Merit Identification: Identifies talented students at the foundation level (Class 3). Financial & Academic Encouragement: Awardees receive a monthly stipend/scholarship for their primary and upper-primary schooling, along with institutional recognition. Problem-Solving Orientation: Tests conceptual understanding, mental math abilities, and basic logical reasoning rather than rote memorization. 2. Examination Pattern & FormatFeatureDetailsDetailed Mathematics Syllabus The exam syllabus is aligned with the Class 3 primary textbook ('Ganita Mela') and encompasses the following key areas: A. Number Sense & Arithmetic Operations 3-Digit Numbers: Reading, writing, expanded notation, place value, face value, and comparison (greater than, less than, ascending/descending order). Addition & Subtraction: Standard addition and subtraction up to 3-digit numbers with regrouping/carrying, alongside real-life word problems. Multiplication & Division: Basic multiplication tables, simple multiplication concepts, and equal distribution/grouping concepts of division. B. Measurement & Units Length: Understanding meters and centimeters, simple conversions, and addition/subtraction of distances. Weight & Capacity: Working with kilograms, grams, liters, and milliliters in practical situations. C. Money & Time Currency: Counting coins and notes, calculating total amounts, and computing change in rupees and paise. Time & Calendar: Reading clock faces (hours and half-hours/minutes), days of the week, months, and simple calendar problems. D. Spatial & Geometric Concepts Basic Shapes: Identifying 2D shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, circle) and 3D objects (cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder, cone). Lines & Angles: Basic concepts of straight lines, curved lines, points, and edges. E. Patterns & Mental Math (Manasanka) Sequence Completion: Identifying number patterns, missing numbers, and shape sequences. Mental Math: Rapid calculation techniques and logic puzzles tailored for primary grade learners. 4. Recommended Preparation Strategy Master the Textbook: Thoroughly cover all concepts and chapter-end exercises in the prescribed Class 3 'Ganita Mela' textbook. Practice Mental Math (Manasanka): Regularly solve speed-calculation exercises to build fluency without relying heavily on scratchpad calculations. Solve Previous Papers: Practice sample test papers and past years' primary scholarship question papers to get accustomed to the time constraint and question framing Exam LevelState Level (Primary Stage) Medium of ExamOdia Question TypeMixed (Multiple Choice Questions, Fill in the Blanks, and Short Structured Answers) Target ClassClass 3 students enrolled in recognized schools Focus AreaCore Mathematics & Mental Ability (Manasanka)
