Maths Olympiads are conducted by several organizations across the country with the purpose of nurturing mathematical talent. One leading organization conducting the Maths Olympiad each year is the Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF). The SOF conducts the Maths Olympiad by the name of International Mathematics Olympiad. The National Board for Higher Mathematics in collaboration with Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education is another prominent organization that regularly conducts Maths Olympiads.

The SOF conducts the International Mathematics Olympiad each year in an attempt to nurture talent, help students gain confidence and to increase the spirit of competitiveness, The Maths Olympiad to be conducted in 2009 is the 3rd such International level Maths Olympiad to be conducted by the SOF.

All schools with minimum registered participants of 50 students can take part in the Maths Olympiad conducted by SOF. The Maths Olympiad is conducted in two levels for students from classes II to XII. A student who clears the first level and secures a position in top 500 students can participate in the second level of examinations. The examination at both the levels is divided into three sections pertaining to Mathematical Ability, Logic & Analytical Reasoning and Everyday Math. The course content for the Maths Olympiad conducted by SOF is entirely based on the curriculum prescribed by CBSE, ICSE and other state boards.

Now, let us just talk about the goodies that you can win! A student who secures the top position in all the grades internationally wins a gold medal and a laptop. A student who secures the 2nd position in each grade wins a silver medal and a laptop. Other goodies like cash prizes, laptops, informational CD’s etc are awarded to the top 500 students for all the grades. Students who are unable to secure a position in top 500 but do manage to secure 50% and above, need not get disheartened! They are awarded a certificate of participation by SOF for having participated in the Maths Olympiad.

Apart from the prizes, a ‘Math Quotient’ (MQ) Report is provided to each student after the Olympiad. The MQ report provides detailed feedback that helps students to develop their weak areas and thereby further encourages increased student participation in future Maths Olympiads. In addition to topic-wise strength and weakness analysis, the report also lists down details about the score, percentile, ranks secured by the student – school wise, city wise, state wise, country wise and also internationally.
