India's performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) has been consistently outstanding, with our students earning Gold, Silver and Bronze medals nearly every year.
2024 marked India's best-ever performance - Rank 4 globally with 4 Gold medals.
All Indian IMO team members are selected through a rigorous muti-stage process:IOQM → RMO → INMO → IMOTC → IMO, conducted by HBCSE.
Since its debut in 1989, India has featured in the Top 10 globally seven times - with three consecutive Top 10 finishes in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
In 2024, Hon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the Indian IMO team for their historic Rank 4 performance - India's best-ever result at the IMO.
