Regional Mathematical Olympiad 2016 - Karnataka Region Poster

Mathematical Olympiad is a problem solving competition originating at the state or regional level and terminating in a world championship. The Mathematical Olympiad Programme in India is organized by the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), on behalf of the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE).

Mathematical Olympiad consists of the following 4 stages:
1. Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO) : Held across the country in 25 regions, this 3 hour test is the stepping stone to participation in the national level test. Apart from the top 30 performers in RMO, the NEXT FIVE best girl candidates would be selected for writing INMO.
Each region conducts a training camp for the students who qualified RMO in that particular region, before they appear for the national level test.

2. Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) : To be held on January 15, 2017, students who have qualified RMO from their respective region (or through RMO conducted by CBSE/KVS/NVS) are eligible to participate in this 4 hour test. Around 30 students are selected from across the country.

3. International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp (IMOTC) : The INMO awardees are invited to a month long training session in May-June every year at HBCSE, Mumbai. Second half of the training camp is devoted to selection of the Indian team for the international level test.


4. International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) : This
is the World Championship Competition and is held annually in a different country. .


INMO Scholarship
: The INMO awardees successfully completing IMOTC, who pursue B.Sc., or other courses adjudged by the Board to be on the same footing, with mathematics as one of the principal subjects of study, are eligible to receive a scholarship from NBHM, which is at present Rs. 4,000 (Rs. Four thousand only) per month, through the period of their undergraduate studies (subject to satisfactory progress). An enhanced scholarship would be available for pursuing masters studies in mathematics.


NURTURE PROGRAMME: INMO awardees who pursue undergraduate studies in professional areas like engineering are eligible for a novel Nurture Programme of NBHM. Under this programme students are encouraged and enabled to study advanced mathematics, alongside their professional studies, through cash awards (annual), setting up contact with a suitable mathematical institution, opportunity to participate in summer workshops (covering expenses) etc.. Students satisfactorily completing the contact programme and summer workshop of the first year will receive a cash award of Rs. 18,500/-, and similarly for the subsequent years a cash award of Rs. 20,000/- will be given.
