About NMTC Exam

NMTC or National Mathematics Talent Contest is a popular competitive test among math enthusiastic students. Since the test is at the national level, it is conducted and regulated by the Association of Mathematics Teachers of India (AMTI). The aim of NMTC is to quest and encourage students who have the ability of creative and original thinking, preparedness to tackle non-routine and unknown problems by applying general mathematical ability that is suitable to their level.

NMTC: Exam Details

The examination is conducted in two stages.

Stage 1 (Preliminary Test)

AMTI conducts the first stage or the preliminary test of NMTC in online mode only..

Only the top 10% of the Stage-I results get selected for Stage-II
