Q: What does International Junior Cybersecurity Olympiad: IP-Friendly Guide for Math & Physics Students cover?
A: What the IJCO is, its CTF finals format, core eligibility, and where to find the official schedule and rules.
TL;DR
The International Junior Cybersecurity Olympiad (IJCO) is listed by SIMCC as an onsite cybersecurity competition for Secondary 1–JC2 (Grades 7–12) students.
The official IJCO info pack describes a team-based Capture-the-Flag final (teams of 3) with a 4-hour competition block; eligibility may also be stated as an age band (for example, 12–19 years old) depending on the host-year rules.
Host city, dates, and registration routes are year-specific-always confirm against SIMCC/JCO’s official pages and the current info pack.
Status: SIMCC IJCO page + JCO IJCO info pack page checked 2026-01-26 - eligibility and format are published officially, but host-year dates and registration steps change; confirm on the official pages before planning.
Anchor those discrete-math and logic drills to our IP Maths tuition hub so IJCO prep reinforces the same algebra, number theory, and vectors you’ll see in school assessments.
Registration quick answer (Singapore): Follow the official IJCO/IJCO sections on SIMCC’s site for the current year’s rules and registration route; countries run qualifiers and national rounds before the international finals. Check eligibility and dates on SIMCC’s official channels.
