6. Where will the IMO registration be done?
The registration for the IMO can be easily done at your school with your teachers or faculty in charge. It is usually the school staff who makes the students aware of the conduction of IMO and other exams. If your school is not conducting the SOF supported IMO, you would have to register online through the website of the International Maths Olympiad. The online registration process is also simple. One needs to log in and then provide the required details, complete payment and the registration is complete.
As many students register for the IMO therefore it is a good idea to register as soon as possible. The exam requires practice and preparation, so the sooner one makes up the mind to appear for the mind and register, the better it is. So, to avoid any last-minute stress and have a planned preparation phase, register early. Good luck with your preparation and attempt at IMO.
