Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics- IOQM (Similar to PRMO of Last Year)

The Covid-19 pandemic in the country and around the world has also had an effect on the National Olympiad Programme in Maths for the year 2021, to the point that the test authorities have made some amendments for the upcoming tests. Before the pandemic, there were a total of 4 stages to qualify for the maths olympiad but this year they have reduced it to three. Till last year, there were two separate exams namely PRMO which was the first stage and RMO, the second stage, both of which have been combined to form IOQM, which stands for Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics. Due to the pandemic, PRMO and RMO were combined to become IOQM, to reduce the pressure on the students. 

The Mathematics Teachers Association of India (MTAI), Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT), and Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research) – HBCSE will jointly organize the Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics (IOQM), a three-hour examination (TIFR). All exam-related information is given below.
