The National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM), (Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India),

Mumbai holds the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO), with a view to identify and then to nurture

mathematical talent amongst students who have just finished their High School. A summer school of 4 weeks duration for

such students is held during summer vacations where they are brought in contact with working mathematicians who give

specially designed courses, going deep in the topics regularly taught in the class, including accelerated learning in new

topics and instilling the culture of mathematics in general. The Olympiad examinations are conducted in three stages, at the

regional level, RMO, at national level, INMO, and finally at the international level, IMO.
