do you get like a certificate from CIE or....
I don't know what happens in other countries but in Bangladesh they give you a certificate in an award giving ceremony which is held in November. The school is informed about the award approximately 1 week after the results are released.

No the school is not informed about the award 1 week after the results.
Accordingly, CIE publishes a whole sheet of outstanding learners for each city (if there are any from that city) and it is released in February, kind of like the May/June exams always taking place in May ... The point being that the school is only informed of the distinctions achieved in February. If it was released a week after the results, why would the school hesitate until February to inform the candidate? :p
P.S (A classmate of mine got a world distinction, so yeah I have had this experience :D)

Yr the rules vary from country to country. In Bangladesh they don't even give city distinctions, we receive either country distinction or world distinction. Here the schools get informed 1 week after results and awards are given in October! I have had this experience too. :p

That is so absurd.
No wonder your country is an exception in every case :p

I wanted to know if there are such awards for Bengali as I got a list of U.A.E winners and among the subjects mentioned, I didn't find Bengali. So I sent an email to the CIE Awards department. They said that unfortunately there isn't one for Bengali and they don't give awards for subjects for which they receive insufficient entries or if the overall marks are not sufficiently high. CIE people -_-

Oh well, about that guy, is it true? :O

The guy who got distinction lives in Bangladesh. I think CIE does not give this award in UAE due to insufficient entries but they do give award in Bangladesh!

What happens when you are top in the world or country in a particular subject?
Cambridge Outstanding Learner Awards are released every year which celebrate the success of those students who got the highest mark in a particular subject either in the world, the country or a particular region. For Pakistan the awards are announced in February. For every country the awards are released at different times of the year. In most of the countries awards are released for both the June and the November sessions. About 3 weeks after the award list is released, the candidates receive their certificates from their school coordinator.
