What is INMO 2024?
In 1989, Indian National Mathematical Olympiad was conducted for the first time and had been conducted every year since then. Every year around 45 students are selected from the INMO exam for the International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp (IMOTC). The time duration of the exam is four-hour and has six questions. The questions need to be solved on the answer sheet and submitted along with the rough sheets after exams. The difficulty level compared to RMO is more.
Students who clear the INMO (Indian National Mathematical Olympiad) receive certificate and invitation expenses for lodging-boarding in training camp at HBCSE Mumbai. Participants who qualify for NHBM will be eligible to participate in the IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad). The Ministry of HRD provides the fare for international tickets. For the global competition, a team of 6 selected students goes to the decided international venue.

- The candidates must be eligible to hold Indian passport. Provisionally, students with OCI cards are eligible to write the IOQM subject to conditions as explained below:As per the orders of the Madras High Court, students with OCI status will not be eligible for selection to the Indian team in the International Mathematical
Olympiad. However, such students are provisionally eligible for selection at ALL prior stages, up to and including the IMOTC provided they fulfill all other criteria. They are also provisionally eligible to write the selection tests at the IMOTC. This policy is subject to revision without prior notice depending on any further orders issued by the courts, or by a competent Government authority. - The student must be residing and studying in India since Nov 30, 2019 or earlier

INMO 2024 Sample Papers
The third qualifying stage of IMO is INMO. Compared to the previous rounds, the difficulty level of questions asked increases. The problems are advanced in nature. Thus it is suggested that students practice at least the last 10-year sample paper for better preparation. It will help in time management and aid in improving weak areas.
