Eligibility:
All Indian students who are born on or after August 1, 1997 and, in addition, are in Class XI or below are eligible to appear for the RMO. Class XII students will not be eligible to appear for RMO/pre-RMO. The Regional Coordinators may charge a nominal fee (not more than Rs. 200) to meet the expenses for organizing the contest.

Step 1:
** Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO and pre-RMO). The RMO is a three hour written test with six problems. On the basis of the performance in RMO, up to 30 students from each region are selected for Stage 2 (INMO).
** In case of a tie for the closing ranks, a tie-breaking mechanism shall be applied by the regional coordinator, following appropriate norms, to arrive at the final list of maximum 30 students from the region.

** The Regional Coordinators hold the charge of conducting the RMO in their respective regions. They have the option of preparing RMO question papers on their own or they may choose to use the central RMO question paper prepared by the Mathematical Olympiad Cell, HBCSE, TIFR.

** Some regions may hold a pre-RMO examination through which students will be selected to appear for RMO. All pre-RMOs will be conducted by the concerned regional coordinator in the respective regions. The format of the pre-RMO paper and the criteria for selecting students for RMO are at the sole discretion of the respective Regional Coordinators

Olympiad Date & Results:

** The RMO will be held in all the regions on Sunday, 9th October, 2016 between 1.00 p.m. and 4.00 p.m. The centres facing a difficulty in conducting the test on that date may under exceptional circumstances conduct the test on an alternate date between October 1 and 16, 2016, with the approval of the National Coordinator.

** The results of RMO for all the regions are to be declared centrally by HBCSE before 6th December, 2016. Therefore the regional coordinators should send the final results to HBCSE by 30th November, 2016. The regional coordinators shall not declare the results in their respectiveregions prior to that date.

Step 2:
** Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO). The INMO will be held on the third Sunday of January (January 15, 2017) from12.00 noon to 4.00 p.m.
** Only those students who are selected in RMO 2016 and those who have received an INMO certificate of merit in 2016 are eligible to appear for the INMO provided they are in class XI or below.
** This contest is a four hour written test. On the basis of the INMO, the top 30 students in merit from all over the country will be chosen as INMO awardees.
** In addition to INMO awardees, the next 45 students who are in class XI or lower and have performed well in INMO, but have not qualified as INMO awardee, are awarded INMO certificate of merit.
** These students will be eligible to appear for INMO 2018 directly without qualifying through RMO 2017, provided they are not in class XII at the time of writing INMO

Step 3:
International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp (IMOTC). The INMO awardees and the girls selected from INMO for training are invited to a month long training camp in April-May each year at the Homi Bhabha Centre forScience Education (HBCSE), Mumbai.

Step 4:
Pre-Departure Training Camps. The selected team of six students goes through another round of training and orientation for about ten days prior to departure for IMO. A Pre-departure camp will also be arranged for girl students selected for participation in 2018, at a suitable time
