The Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) is a high school mathematics competition held annually in India since 1989. It is the second tier in the Indian team selection procedure for the International Mathematical Olympiad and is conducted by the HomiBhaba Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) under the aegis of the National Board of Higher Mathematics

Who can appear for Indian National Mathematics Olympiad Test?

In order to appear the INMO test, candidates first need to write the Regional Mathematical Olympiad of their respective state or region, usually held on the first Sunday of December of the previous year.

Around thirty students are selected from each region, to write the INMO, which is usually held on the first Sunday of February. Among these 500 or more students, a total of around thirty qualify the INMO and are sent to the month-long training camp at HBSCE to prepare for international Olympiad math.

At the end of the training camp, six students are selected to sit for the International Math Olympiad (IMO)
