Singapore Junior Biology Olympiad 2026: Format, Awards, and Status
A source-checked record of SJBO 2026 eligibility, fees, theory format, award bands, closed registration, results-page limitation, and the discontinued practical round.
Q: What is the current status of SJBO 2026?
A: Registration closed on 13 March and the online theory test took place on 6 May. The organiser's live timeline now records the results release on 20 July, and its results navigation includes a 2026 results page. Prizegiving is scheduled for the morning of 22 August at Science Centre Singapore.
Last reviewed: 4 August 2026 against SJBO's 2026 timeline and results navigation.
Current-cycle owner and a source contradiction
The Singapore Institute of Biology runs SJBO in collaboration with Science Centre Singapore and with MOE support. Its general About page still says the practical round is held at Science Centre Singapore.
For the 2026 cycle, the newer registration page and briefing are more specific: they say there is no practical round, with the registration page adding that there will not be one moving forward. This guide follows those current-cycle sources rather than the stale general sentence.
