The questions become deeper as the student progresses.
IOQM focuses on strong numerical problem solving. RMO and INMO increasingly require complete written proofs. Later training stages prepare selected students for international competition.
RMO
Regional stage
Write complete arguments for proof-based problems.
INMO
National stage
Deeper national-level proof problems.
Camp
Training
Advanced learning and selection activities.
IMO
International
Selected students represent India.

Syllabus, without the jargon
IOQM syllabus: four areas of mathematics.
A teacher-style syllabus should help students imagine the problems—not merely display a chapter list.
Number Theory
Divisibility, remainders, primes and patterns in whole numbers.
Algebra
Unknown quantities, patterns, equations and relationships.
Geometry
Shapes, angles, lengths and the reasons behind a diagram.
Combinatorics
Counting arrangements and choices without missing cases.
IOQM 2027 preparation
Which batch fits the student?
Junior · Classes 7–8: for students beginning serious Olympiad preparation.
Senior · Classes 9–11: for students who have already appeared in an Olympiad.
