Mangaluru, Dec 11: As many as 11 students from Centre for Advanced Learning (CFAL), Mangaluru, have been selected in the prestigious Karnataka Regional Mathematics Olympiad (KRMO 2017). They are among the 35 students selected from across Karnataka.
Mathematical Olympiad is one of the most prestigious examinations conducted by the Government of India and all selected students qualify for INMO (Indian National Mathematical Olympiad) which leads to International MathematicalOlympiad (IMO).
First stage of the exam (Pre- RMO also known as PRMO) was held on Aug 20, 2017 at different centres all over India. A total of 623 students from Karnataka were selected for the Second stage exam. KRMO 2017 was held on October 8th, 2017 and 35 students have been now selected from Karnataka for the Third stage exam (Indian National Mathematical Olympiad – also known as INMO).
In 2016-17, CFAL student Aditya Prakash, had been selected for the 58th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) held in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
After a gap of 20 years, a student from Karnataka was representing India at the International Math Olympiad. It was a big achievement for Karnataka. Along with outstanding faculty, Aditya Prakash mentors and guides students preparing for the Olympiads at CFAL.
The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the largest, oldest and more prestigious mathematics Olympiad for students. While many private entities conduct different Olympiads, there is only one Olympiad that is recognised by the government and which is internationally recognised. (Like the Olympics for sports)
The Mathematics Olympiad Program in India is organized by the HomiBhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) on behalf of the National Board of Higher Mathematics (NBHM) of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE).
To select the Indian team for International Mathematical Olympiad(IMO), 30 students selected from INMO attend a training camp in Mumbai.Out of these a team of 5-6 students will represent India at the International Mathematical Olympiads (IMO) 2018 which will be held in Romania in July 2018.
