The Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics (IOQM), hosted by the Mathematics Teachers' Association, would be the first stage of the programme (India). This will be a three-hour exam with 30 questions, each with an integer answer in the range of 00 to 99.

The Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), TIFR, will host the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) in the second stage. This will be a four-hour test with six multiple-choice questions and proof-based answers. 

Rules and Guidelines for INMO 2022

The following rule will be used to compile a list of qualifying students for the INMO 2022:

• Students in each area (including students from KVS and JNV) who score in the top 300 (class XI or lower category) + 60 (class XII category) in IOQM will receive a certificate if they achieve a minimum cut-off score of 10% of the total marks on the IOQM paper. However, this is not an INMO qualifying condition.

• Regardless of the regional quota, the top 540 on the IOQM merit list will be eligible for INMO. There will be 90 students in class XII in this pool.

• There will be 450 pupils in classes VIII, IX, X, and XI.

• A minimum of 30 students (class XI or below category) + 6 students (class XII category) + 5 students (female students, regardless of the number of girl students qualifying in class XI or below category). In the girl’s category, no girl student from class XII is eligible. Regardless of the scores, one representative from each area will qualify for INMO (provided each qualifying candidate has a score above a minimum cut-off score of 10 percent of the total marks of the IOQM paper).

• At maximum, 6 pupils are allowed (provided each qualifying candidate has a score above a minimum cut-off score of 10 per cent of the total marks of the IOQM paper.) Pupils studying in an Indian school system other than Kendriya Vidyalaya will be chosen from a group of students living abroad and studying in an Indian school system other than Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV). There shall be no more than 1 student from class XII and no more than 5 kids from class XI or lower among these 6 students. This group of pupils does not have a special female quota.
