NBHM-MATHEMATICS OLYMPIAD
The national Olympiad program in mathematics culminating in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) and European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO) has been disrupted by the COVID -19 pandemic in the country. In view of the prevailing situation, the following decisions are announced. In a departure from the usual four-stage procedure for the selection of the teams to represent India at the IMO and EGMO that has been followed in previous years, the selection procedure cycle has been condensed to a three-stage process as an exception only for this year. The three stages will be: 1. A three-hour examination called the Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics (IOQM) organized by the Mathematics Teachers’ Association (India) (MTA (I)). 2. The Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) organized by the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (HBCSE - TIFR). 3. The International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp (IMOTC) organized by HBCSE.

Selection process
Zones and Zonal Coordinators: For purposes of administration of the selection process for the scholarships, the country is divided into five geographical zones, each headed by a coordinator. The names, affiliations, and addresses of the zonal coordinators are listed at the end of this advertisement. The Written Test: The test is scheduled for January. It shall be a test of core mathematical skills useful for studying mathematics at the Master’s and Doctoral levels, as judged by the committee of experts appointed by NBHM. There is no prescribed syllabus, but question papers from previous editions (2005 onward) along with keys are available at this repository. The pattern and level of difficulty of the test may vary from those of previous editions. Nevertheless the papers in the repository should provide valuable guidance on what the test is all about. Interview Shortlists: For each test answer script, two scores, called M-score and D-score (M for Master’s, D for Doctoral), shall be calculated. The M-score shall just be the raw score on the test net of any negative marking; the D-score shall be calculated by giving a higher weightage to the scores on certain sections (those with questions on more advanced topics), again net of any negative marking. The test booklet will have clear instructions on how these two scores are calculated: see, for example, the question paper for the test held in April 2023, available on the repository. Two cut-off scores, called M-cut-off and D-cut-off, will be announced by the selection committee based on the test performance data. To be on the Doctoral Interview Shortlist (DIS), a candidate a. Must have applied for the Doctoral Scholarship. b. Must have a D-score not less than the D-cut-off. To be on the Master’s Interview Shortlist (MIS), a candidate. c. Must have applied for the Master’s Scholarship. d. Must have either an M-score not less than the M-cut-off or a D-score not less than the D-cut-off. Other Info The Doctoral Scholarship is intended to support pursuit of research leading to the PhD degree “in Mathematics”. It is initially granted for a term of four years, but needs to be renewed every year, the renewal being subject to satisfactory progress as judged by NBHM. It is extendable by one more year, solely at NBHM’s discretion. It consists of a monthly stipend and a yearly contingency grant, the rates of which are revised from time to time, following directives of the Government of India. In addition, house rent allowance (HRA) is payable as per central government norms.
