The Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF) organizes the prestigious International Mathematics Olympiad (SOF IMO) annually, providing students with an exceptional platform to showcase their mathematical reasoning and logical abilities. This widely recognized competition attracts participation from students across classes 1-12 in schools throughout India, helping to identify and nurture mathematical talent at an early age.

The SOF IMO has established itself as a benchmark for mathematical excellence among school students, with a carefully designed curriculum that challenges participants to think beyond their regular school syllabus. The examination evaluates students not just on their mathematical knowledge but also on their ability to apply concepts to solve complex problems. For schools and parents keen on nurturing analytical thinking and problem-solving skills in children, the IMO offers a structured approach to recognize and reward mathematical aptitude.

Eligibility Requirements for SOF IMO:

The eligibility criteria for participating in the SOF International Mathematics Olympiad are clearly defined:

• Students must be enrolled in classes 1-12 in a school recognized by the Science Olympiad Foundation

• Students can only participate in the examination level corresponding to their class

• For Level 1, all eligible students from classes 1-12 can participate

• For Level 2, only students from classes 3-12 are eligible, and they must rank in the top 5% of performers in Level 1

• Students from classes 1 and 2 do not have a Level 2 examination

• Individual applications are not accepted; schools must register their students

The tiered structure ensures that students compete with peers at similar academic levels while providing advanced opportunities for those demonstrating exceptional mathematical abilities.
