The Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics (IOQM) is an examination in mathematics for high-school students, usually conducted in the start of September (first or second Sunday). It is organized by the Mathematics Teachers' Association (India).[1]
There are two levels of the IOQM:
- the Category A, for students in grades 8, 9, 10 and 11
- the Category B, for students in grades 12
The region-wise top 200 students along with an additional group of 5 more girls in Category A in the IOQM are invited to the Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO). The region-wise top 40 students in Category B in the IOQM are invited to the Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO).[2]
Unlike the NSEs, IOQM is not held state-wise and rather region-wise. This is because IAPT/ACT/ATBS select students for National Olympiads and MTA(I) selects students for the Regional Olympiad

Part-A |
12 | Delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic. IOQM was conducted as a single examination in lieu of PRMO, RMO, INMO and TSTs of the previous years. It had 2 parts. The Part A was equivalent of IOQM 2020 and Part B was equivalent of INMO and TSTs of the previous years. The Indian team was decided directly on the basis of IOQM Part A and Part B score in this year. IOQM Part A merit certificates were issued to a total of 8,032 candidates. |
| 2022 | IOQM | 24 | IOQM 2022 was equivalent to IOQM 2020. |
| 2023 | IOQM | 30 | IOQM returned to it's old format as the PRMO. |
| 2024 | IOQM | TBA | IOQM 2024 would be held on 8th September 2024. |
Syllabus
[edit]The IOQM syllabus and paper pattern is similar to that of the Mathematics of JEE Advanced. The topics of Algebra, Trigonometry and 2-Dimensional Co-ordinate Geometry are exact match. Calculus along with Vectors and 3-Dimensional Co-ordinate Geometry would be helpful but is not part of the IOQM syllabus and all questions can be solved without the knowledge of these topics.
