‼️Official Statement Regarding “IYPTTutor”‼️
We would like to address recent concerns regarding the YouTube channel “IYPTTutor” (https://www.youtube.com/@jixavier4022). This channel falsely claims to sell solutions and provide insider advantages for the IYPT 2025. We strongly emphasize that IYPT has no affiliation with this channel or its operators.
Furthermore, any claims that members of “IYPTTutor” have been accepted as jurors in the 2025 tournament are entirely false. The selection process for jurors has not yet begun, making such statements both misleading and fraudulent.
The International Young Physicists’ Tournament (IYPT) is a competition that celebrates the hard work, creativity, and achievements of students. We expect all participants to present their own results and solutions, developed through their efforts and teamwork. Engaging with channels like “IYPTTutor” undermines the spirit and integrity of the competition.
We strongly urge the IYPT community to avoid interacting with “IYPTTutor,” refrain from making any payments, and report the channel and its user to YouTube for violating ethical and academic standards.
Thank you for helping us maintain the fairness and authenticity of the IYPT.
