Maths Olympiads & Competitions for Kids in India

Maths olympiads and competitions test a child's problem-solving and logical reasoning well beyond the school syllabus, and run from school rounds up to national and international stages. WiWit lists 341 verified maths olympiads & competitions in India from 212 organizations. They include options spanning Grade 1 to 12, 93 available online, 92 free to enter. Last reviewed August 2026.

Mathematics olympiads are among the most popular and most useful competitions for Indian school students. Unlike a school exam, they reward reasoning, pattern-finding and the ability to attack an unfamiliar problem, the same habits that help later in board exams, JEE/NEET preparation and beyond. Listings here span the full ladder: inter-school maths championships, national-level olympiads with multiple rounds, and Indian rounds of international competitions, for children from the early primary grades up to Grade 12. WiWit checks each listing against the organizer's official information before it is published, so you can compare which contest fits your child's grade and level without scanning a dozen websites.
