About This Opportunity
The Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO) is a highly esteemed mathematics competition in India, serving as the crucial second stage of the Mathematical Olympiad program. It is meticulously organized by the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) on behalf of the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM), with the core objective of identifying and fostering mathematically gifted school students nationwide.
The RMO is a rigorous three-hour written examination comprising six challenging descriptive problems. These problems are specifically designed to assess students' profound understanding of mathematical concepts, their logical reasoning abilities, and their innovative problem-solving skills.
Excelling in the RMO is a vital step towards qualifying for the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) and subsequently, the prestigious opportunity to represent India at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
The examination is conducted across various regions in India, with dedicated regional coordinators overseeing the entire process, including evaluation. It strongly encourages students from Classes 8 to 12 to explore and master advanced mathematical concepts that extend beyond their regular school curriculum, fostering a deeper passion for the subject.
