A National Level Pre-Olympiad Mathematics Competition

 Notice:  Please note the change in the level of eligibility for the competition

Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana (BP) has earned a very high reputation in providing mathematics training to school students from the 5th standard onwards – as well as in helping students prepare for the various exam stages that lead to the Indian team selection for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).  Many students from the BP have gone on to win medals at the IMO.

The BMTSC is a pre-Olympiad level competition that was started in 2014-15 by the BP, to commemorate the 900 th birth anniversary of the legendary Indian mathematician Bhaskaracharya II.
