Regional Mathematical Olympiad, Karnataka
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.
