Students do not have to worry about the state or region they belong to as many schools across India are registered IMO exam centres. Schools are not charged any fee for becoming an IMO centre. The only criteria for a school is a minimum registration of 10 students for IMO. Therefore, any student studying in any school pan-India is eligible for registering for the olympiad.

The date for conducting the IMO can also be chosen as per the comfort of the institute. Irrespective of the dates, different question papers are presented each time.

Coming back to the registration aspect of the IMO, there are no strict eligibility criteria. The only basic criteria are the students should be studying in an Indian government approved school and should not have cleared grade 12 exams. In short, students of classes 1 to 12 can appear for the respective olympiad exams.

If this criterion is met, one can fill a simple form providing important basic information. After the form is filled correctly, one must pay a nominal fee for the examination charge (INR 125). The fee and form are submitted at their school. Post submission, the admit card will be issued. One also receives the practise workbook from SOF. The workbook is a very useful resource.

After submitting the fee and form, the teachers in charge are provided with admit cards per student in a few days. The admit cards are usually generated a few days before exams. After receiving the admit card, the students are all set to appear for the olympiad exam.
