School- and Regional-Level competitions are a joint responsibility of all organising institutions with their Regional School Partners and Regional Hosts. The Mock Baal Sansad (6 October 2026) and the National Level Baal Sansad at Vidhan Sabha, New Delhi (7 October 2026) are led by Manav Rachna as National Host, in close coordination with all organising institutions.
Jury Composition
School Level
Three jurors
One faculty member from Science or Environmental Studies, one from Social Science, Economics or Legal Studies, and one external member where available.
In person, at the school.
Regional Level
Three jurors per chamber
At least one juror from outside the region's participating schools, to safeguard impartiality.
Online, with jurors in a private breakout for deliberation.
National Level
Three jurors per Element Committee
At least one external domain expert in law, policy, science, planning or public administration.
In person, on campus and at the Vidhan Sabha Summit.
The same five-criterion Common Evaluation Framework (100 marks) applies at every level — see the Assessment Criteria.
How the House is Argued: the Five Elements
Rather than government-versus-opposition benches, every delegate is assigned one element and argues its motion individually before the jury — with a Speaker/Chair presiding over each round.
Speaker / Chair
- Presides over and conducts proceedings for the round
- Maintains decorum, recognises delegates, and rules on points of order
- Allocates speaking time — rulings may be raised with the Chair afterwards, not contested in the moment
