For the purpose of administering Mathematics Olympiad
contests, the country has been divided in 16 regions.
5. Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO)RMO is held in each
region normally between September and the first Sunday of

in different regions. Only students selected on the basis of
RMO from different regions are eligible to appear for INMO.
6. International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp
(IMOTC)The INMO certificate awardees are invited to a
month long training camp (junior batch) conducted in
