With a view to locate and then nurture Mathematical talent among school going children in India, an elaborate scheme has been drawn up by the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM).

Under this scheme, Regional Mathematical Olympiads (RMO) are held in 20 regions covering the whole country. RMOs are usually held in every region sometime between August 15 and December 7. More information and the exact date can be obtained from the concerned regional coordinator. The list of all regional coordinators is given at the end of this write up. Primarily , Students of Std. XI and XII (first and second year of Junior College) can appear for RMO. But the regional coordinator may permit some bright students of Std. X or IX also to take the RMO. The top 15 to 30 students from each region (depending upon the quota for the region) selected in RMO-2006, including at most 6 students from std. XII, will be invited to write the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) which will be held on February 4, 2007. There is no fixed syllabus for RMO or INMO. Problems asked are of a non-routine type but within the capacity of a bright talented 15 year old student.

The top 30 students of INMO (called INMO Awardees) would be invited to a Summer Camp in May-June, 2007. All these students, and also INMO-awardees of the previous years who are still pre-university students and who show good performance in postal coaching during 2006-2007, would be eligible to be selected to the Indian team for participation in International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) which will be held in July 2007 in Vietnam . The selection of the team will be done during the Summer Camp.

INMO awardees may take up any branch of study in future and if they give evidence of their continued interest in mathematics , they will be eligible for NBHM scholarships.
