Prepare from verified information

IOQM 2026 paper pattern and marking scheme

The released IOQM 2026 paper has 30 numerical-answer questions, a three-hour duration and 100 marks. Questions 1–10 carry 2 marks each, questions 11–20 carry 3 marks each, and questions 21–30 carry 5 marks each. There is no negative marking. Match the set printed on your paper before calculating your score.

Read the complete pattern and OMR guide →

Do not memorise an old paper’s question-range numbering as a permanent rule. Use the current paper’s printed mark allocation and instructions.

Paper versions

Set codes and question mapping must be preserved

Recent answer keys can use separate columns for paper sets. A question may move to another number between sets even when the mathematical content is the same. Any solution or score calculation published here will therefore state the set and question mapping rather than assuming that Q12 is identical everywhere.

  1. Record the set code printed on the paper.
  2. Keep the question paper and candidate OMR copy when permitted.
  3. Match the key to the exact set.
  4. Check leading-zero conventions for one-digit numerical answers.
  5. Use the final key after any challenge process.

Post-exam review

How to review paper difficulty

Topic distribution

Classify questions under number theory, algebra, geometry and combinatorics, while acknowledging genuine overlap.

Difficulty

Use transparent criteria such as observation depth, technical length, casework and likely time demand—not only a teacher’s first impression.

Student decisions

Identify accessible questions, common traps and time-management lessons while clearly identifying cutoff figures as expected estimates.

Difficulty labels are partly judgement. The analysis will separate visible evidence from interpretation and will be revised if a solution or classification changes.

Accuracy protocol

IOQM 2026 solutions by Ajeet Dubey

The solutions and expected cutoff are available now. Open Mathiit for the detailed review by Ajeet Dubey and Team Mathiit. Check any resource version notes or corrections while comparing your answers.

  • Use the paper statement, not a retyped social-media version.
  • Have each numerical answer solved and checked independently.
  • Test boundary cases and assumptions.
  • Map every solution to all paper sets.
  • Label the solutions as Mathiit’s independent analysis and show their review status.
  • Keep a dated correction note if an answer changes.

Continue your preparation

Practise with genuine previous papers instead

The previous-paper archive remains useful after IOQM 2026. Use recent papers for timed simulations, older papers for extra depth and a review log for missed ideas and OMR errors.
