Mock Test 2 INMO Exam

The Indian National Mathematics Olympiad is the 3rd stage of HBCSE IMO. This Indian originated Olympiad is held for Indian scholars in the subject of Mathematics. This Olympiad is held especially for students who have a certain level of expertise and grip in the subject of mathematics. INMO is the second stage that is used by scholars to get selected in the Indian platoon for the International Mathematics Olympiad. This olympiad is organized by Homi Bhabha Center for Science and Education ( HBCSE ).  Scholars who successfully crack the examination get the chance to attend the training camp at the Homi Bhabha Center for Science Education and these training sessions are funded and maintained by the National Board for Higher Mathematics. 

This is a platform that is precisely used for the selection of scholars who have breathtaking mathematics skills and who are willing to understand the subject in depth. INMO is the gateway to the heavens of mathematics for students. Many scholars from every part of our country take this examination but not all of them can qualify. In the end, there are only 45 students to be selected across India. Once the selection process comes to an end, these brilliant students get to attend the training sessions at the International Mathematics Olympiad Training Camp ( IMOTC ). Out of these 45 students, only 6 are shortlisted who represent the country at the global level.

INMO Exam Pattern

Good preparation can not be started without understanding the pattern of the examination and the type of questions that are asked. The exam pattern is discussed below and scholars who are going to participate in this examination should keep this pattern in mind:

  • The exam will be for 4 hours. 

  • Scholars will have to solve six very difficult and thoughtful questions in those 4 hours. 

  • The examination will be of a written manner. 

  • The offline examination will be conducted. 

  • All are six questions have to be solved compulsorily. 

  • Scholars will have to solve the question on the given answer sheets. 

  • Round sheet provided by the center will have to be submitted along with the original answer sheet.

Awareness of the exam pattern will help students in preparation because then they will know in what manner they should approach a question. This is very important for cracking the examination. Scholars who will crack down the examination with flying colors will not only get a certificate and recognition but also a golden chance to attend the training camp at HBCSE Mumbai and also represent our country on an international level. All the expenses of students will be funded by the government. Scholars will have to pass NHBM to participate in the IMO ( International Mathematics Olympiad ).

Eligibility Criteria for INMO 

Not everyone can apply for INMO and that is a fact known by most of us. This prestigious examination is held for students who have exceptional skills in mathematics who can solve difficult problems far higher than their grade level. Scholars wanting to participate in this examination should check the eligibility criteria at once:

  • Selection is done by looking at the performances of the scholars in the RMO ( Regional Mathematics Olympiad - Stage 2 ). From all over India, only 28 students are selected by the authorities from class 8th to class 11th. While only 6 students are selected from class 12th who can participate in INMO.

  • PROMO scores are considered to decide who should be selected for the INMO examination if scores of two or more scholars are the same in RMO.

  • If the PROMO scores do not provide a decision then all the students of that particular mark get the eligibility for sitting in the examination

  • Five students are selected who belong to non-KV CBSE schools that are out of India. CBSE and KV are solely responsible for the selection process of such students who fall in this category. 

  • Five girl candidates are selected excluding other selections. These girl scholars will be from Class 8th to Class 12th.

Registration Process 

  • There is no registration portal that a student can use for participating in the examination. Read the bullet points to know more:

  • Direct entries are given to students who qualify in previous stages of IOM and previous year INMO merit awardees who are also qualified for taking the examination. Only 900 students are shortlisted for giving this examination. 

  • Scholars interested in participating will have to qualify for the regional mathematics olympiad ( RMO ) and should also get the top 30 scores in the region. 

  • RMO or regional Mathematics Olympiad is held in twenty-five regions of India. Conduction bodies are NVS ( Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti ), KVS ( Kendriya Vidyalaya Samiti ) and CBSE ( Central Board of Secondary Education ).

INMO Syllabus 

This examination can only be passed by having proper knowledge and understanding of the syllabus and practicing more than before. The question paper will be of a descriptive manner and the syllabus will be of pre-degree college Mathematics that means the examination will be far more than difficult and extensive practice will be needed. Students from Class 10th to Class 12th should keep in mind that the questions that will be asked to them will be of greater difficulty compared to the other section of students. Please mark the topics being mentioned blow and practice from different books, more the knowledge and practice better will be the results:

  • Arithmetic of Integers

  • Geometry

  • Quadratic Equations & Expressions

  • Trigonometry

  • Coordinate Geometry

  • System of Linear Equations

  • Inequalities

  • Elementary Combinatorics

  • Probability Theory

  • Number Theory

  • Finite Series & Complex Numbers

  • System of Linear Equations

  • Elementary Graph Theory

  • Permutations & Combinations
