About 18 under 18?

18 Under 18 is a Times NIE initiative that recognises exceptional school students who demonstrate talent, leadership, creativity, and impact beyond academics.
Schools across India can nominate students who are making a difference through innovation, performance, social impact, sports, communication, or creative excellence.

    Here's How It Works

  1. Schools identify and shortlist students under the announced 18 categories.
  2. Schools submit nominations from January 27 to February 10.
  3. A jury evaluates all entries based on impact, originality, effort, and future promise.
  4. The 18 Under 18 winners are announced in Times NIE on February 16.
