Fee is the per-student registration fee; school-route fees sometimes differ from direct registration, and international-format olympiads cost more. Format matters practically: in-school pen-paper olympiads need your school to be registered with the organiser; online proctored exams can be attempted from home; centre-based exams require travel.
A sensible comparison starts from your child, not the exam: pick the subject where curiosity is highest, then choose the format your household can support, and only then compare fees. Our choosing guide walks through this in five minutes.
