IMO

The International Mathematics Olympiad, popularly known as IMO, is a national- and international-level competitive examination conducted by the Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF). It is open to school students from Classes 1 to 12 and assesses their mathematical reasoning, problem-solving skills and logical thinking. Held once a year, generally in school-based offline mode (with online options as notified), the SOF IMO aims to identify and nurture mathematical talent among young learners and offers ranks, medals and rewards at school, zonal, national and international levels. The exam typically includes sections on logical reasoning, mathematical reasoning, an everyday-mathematics section and an achievers section as per the class.
