IMO(INTERNATIONAL MATH OLYMPIOD) ROD TO IMO
India[edit]
India has been participating in the IMO since 1989.[3] The National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) is in charge of the mathematical olympiad activity which has put Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) in-charge for the implementation.[4]
The selection process consists of four stages: However the programme itself is of six stages.[5]
- Stage 1 or Pre-Regional Mathematical Olympiad: PRMO is conducted at the school level. It is a two and half hour examination with 30 questions.
- Stage 2 or Regional Mathematical Olympiad: Shorlisted candidates from the previous stage move on to participate in the RMO. It is a three-hour examination with six problems conducted at a small number of centers in all of 25 regions designated across the country. The best performing candidates (approximately 900) qualify for the third stage.
- Stage 3 or Indian National Mathematical Olympiad: The INMO is held on the third Sunday of January at 28 centers across the country. The examination paper comprises six problems to be solved over a time of four hours. The top students from the INMO (approximately 35) are invited for the fourth stage.
- Stage 4 or International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp: It is held at HBCSE from April to May. At this camp, orientation is provided to students by resource persons from different institutions across the country. Several selection tests are held during this camp. Based on the performance in these tests, 6 students are selected to represent India at the IMO.
- Stage 5 or IMO: The Olympiad program culminates with the participation of the students in the IMO. 4 teachers or mentors accompany the students.
