Mathematical

Olympiads are

mainly

organized to

mathematical

talent in pre-

University

students. Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO) held in India

is the first step for an Indian student to get a chance to

represent India in the International Mathematical Olympiad

(IMO) - the world championship mathematics competition for

high school students.

Those who clear Regional Mathematical Olympiad are eligible to

sit for the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO),

which is conducted by the Mathematical Olympiad (MO) Cell of

the Homi Bhabha Centre of the Science Education (HBCSE)

under the aegis of the National Board of Higher Mathematics

(NBHM).

Mathematical Olympiad

The Maths Olympiad Programme which leads to participation in

the IMO- International Mathematical Olympiad,constitutes of

the following stages:

Stage 1: Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO)

Regional Mathematical Olympiad is held in each region

normally between September and the first Sunday of December

each year. A regional coordinator makes sure that at least one

centre is provided in every district of the region. RMO is a 3-

hour written test which contains about 6 to 7 problems. All

high-school students up to class XII are eligible to appear for

RMO. To appear for RMO, interested students should get in

touch with the RMO co-ordinator of their region well in advance,

for enrolment and payment of a nominal fee.

Each regional coordinator has the freedom to prepare his/her

own question paper or to obtain the question paper from

NBHM. The regions which opt for the NBHM question paper

hold this contest on the 1st Sunday of December. On Based on

theirperformance in RMO, certain number of students from

each region are selected to appear for the second stage. The

regional coordinators charge nominal fees to meet the expenses

for organizing the contests.

Stage 2: Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO)

Indian National Mathematical Olympiad is held on the first

Sunday of February every year at differentcentres in different

regions. Just the students who are selected on the basis of RMO

from various regions are eligible to appear for the INMO. It is a

4-hour written test. Its question paper is set centrally and the

test is common throughout the country. Only the top 30-35

performers in INMO receive a merit certificate.

Stage 3: International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp

(IMOTC)

This is a training level for the INMO certificate awardees. They

are invited for a month long training camp (for junior batch)

conducted in May-June, each year. Also in addition, INMO

awardees of the previous year who have satisfactorily

completed the postal tuition throughout the year are again

invited for a second round of training (called the senior batch).

Stage 4: International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO)

A leader and deputy leader are chosen by the NBHM from

among mathematics teachers/researchers involved in the

Mathematics Olympiad activity.So the team selected at the end

of the camp, the leader and the deputy leader, represent India

at the International Mathematical Olympiad that is normally

held in July in a different member country of IMO each year.

The IMO consists of two written tests held on two days with a

gap of at least one day. Both the tests are of four-and-a-half-

hours.

India has 25 regions along with three independent groups that

conduct Regional Math Olympiad. Each region has its own

Regional Coordinator, who is responsible for conducting RMO in

his/her region.

Regional Coordinators have the discretion of using central RMO

paper set by the HBCSE or set the examination paper

themselves. Regions that choose to go with the centrally

prepared RMO paper have to conduct a pre-RMO to screen

students for the central RMO examination.

The format of the pre-RMO paper and criteria for short listing

student for RMO is decided solely by the Regional Coordinator.

Eligibility

Only students of class IX, X, XI and XII are eligible to participate

in Regional Mathematical Olympiad. However, Regional

Coordinators have the discretionary power to allow any Class

VIII student with exceptional mathematical talent to sit for the

Syllabus for Mathematics Olympiads-

Syllabus for Mathematics Olympiads (regional, national and

international) is class 9 to 12 standard mathematics.

The typical areas of problems are: number theory,algebra,

geometry, and combinatorics.

The topics covered under these areas are: number systems,

geometry, arithmetic of integers,quadratic equations and

expressions, co-ordinate geometry, trigonometry,systems of

linear equations, factorisation of polynomials, permutations

and combinations,inequalities, probability theory,elementary

combinatorics, number theory, complex numbers,

elementary graph theory and , infinite series.

The syllabus does not include statistics and calculus.

Though the syllabus is roughly spread over class IX to class

XII levels, still the problems under each topic are of an

exceptionally high level in difficulty and sophistication as

compared to the text book problems.

The difficulty level keeps increasing from RMO to INMO to

Selection Procedure

Students who clear INMO but are not selected for International

Math Olympiad (IMO) receive postal problems during the period

of July to December. Based on their responses, they might be

invited to the pre-departure training camp for IMO directly or

asked to sit for INMO again (without having to sit for the

Regional Math Olympiad).

Exam Structure

RMO has six or seven problems that students have to solve in

three hours. The syllabus for RMO basically covers pre-degree

college mathematics. The major areas covered in the syllabus

are algebra, geometry, number theory and combinatorics.

Calculus and statistics are not within the scope of the exam but

students are allowed to use approaches based on them to solve

problems.

The questions generally have high difficulty level and

sophistication which only increase from RMO to INMO to IMO.

One should go through Regional Mathematical Olympiad past

year papers as well as Regional Mathematical Olympiad sample

papers to fully understand what is to be expected in the exam.

How can Askiitians help you?

Askiitians offers excellent and affordable packages to prepare

students for Regional Mathematical Olympiad. These include

Regional Mathematical Olympiad past paper with answer as

well as test papers with correct and accurate Regional

Mathematical Olympiad answer key. The comprehensive RMO

study material offered at Askiitians includes all the topics

covered in RMO syllabus.
