Incentives & Awards for Winners

Participating in a mathematics olympiad is itself an enriching and rewarding experience. If you also happen to do well and qualify for IMOTC or beyond, there are more rewards in store for you. In addition, Regional Coordinators usually have some awards for their RMO winners even if they have not progressed beyond RMO.

• INMO awardees are automatically eligible for admission to the B.Sc. (Hons) Mathematics course in the Chennai Mathematical Institute.
• INMO awardees applying for B. Stat or B. Math courses of the Indian Statistical Institute are directly called for the interview without going through the written test. 
  
• INMO awardees are also eligible for an NBHM scholarship that currently stands at about Rs. 2500 per month, if they continue their studies in mathematics. They are also offered a 4-year programme of training in Mathematics through correspondence and periodic contact with a chosen faculty. The programme is also available to INMO awardees who do not pursue an undergraduate degree in Mathematics but have special interest in the subject. They are offered an annual cash award of Rs. 9,000 subject to satisfactory performance in the programme.
• IMO awardees are eligible for the prestigious Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) fellowship provided they pursue their studies in the science subjects in India. The fellowship amount stands at Rs. 4000 per month plus Rs. 6,000 per annum contingency.
• Indian team members who receive a gold, silver or bronze at IMO are given cash awards by the NBHM of Rs. 5,000, Rs. 4,000 and Rs. 3,000 respectively.  In recent years, they have also been felicitated by the Infosys foundation.
• All travel expenses for the IMO Training Camp and all expenses for the IMO are borne by the Government of India.
