RMO 2022 Exam Dates

Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) organizes the Mathematical Olympiad Program under the authority of the Department of Atomic Energy’s National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM). Candidates belonging to a recognized educational board like CBSE, ICSE, and other state boards and studying from Classes 8-12 are eligible for the RMO exam. However, they need to qualify for the Pre RMO exam first before they move on to the Regional Mathematical Olympiad exam.

The RMO exam is generally conducted in December. However, due to COVID-19 pandemic precautions, the organizing body has postponed the exam date, and aren’t declared yet. Candidates should keep checking the official website of Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) for recent updates. HBCSE has preferred 25 regions around the country to prepare and pick the best candidates for the Mathematical Olympiad Program. The students should practice the sample papers and previous year’s question papers to prepare well for the exam. Once you qualify for the RMO exam, you can move on to the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO).

The conducting body will ensure the safety of students while conducting the exam. The RMO exam date 2022-2023 is expected to be declared as soon as the Pre RMO exam results will be released.

Moreover, they should also be well familiar with the exam pattern. Students who successfully clear for the International Mathematical Olympiad will be awarded gold, silver, and bronze medal along with a cash prize of Rs. 5000, Rs. 4000, and Rs. 3000.
 

RMO 2022 Exam Pattern

Students should be well familiar with the RMO Exam Pattern 2022-2023 so that they can perform well in the exam and secure good marks. There will be 6 descriptive mathematical questions carrying 17 marks each. The RMO exam goes on for 3 hours. The first 30 candidates from Classes 8, 9, 10, and 11 and 6 students from Class 12 are chosen for INMO. The rest 45 students are awarded a merit certificate for INMO.

How to start preparing for the RMO exam?
Students will have to practice the RMO Syllabus and develop their reasoning skills, problem-solving abilities, and critical skills in order to prepare for the Regional Mathematical Olympiad. 

Following are some tips to prepare for the RMO exam-

Strengthen your basic concepts 
When your basic Mathematics concepts are clear, you can solve questions easily. Even if you don’t the exact method to solve the question, you can apply concepts and crack the answer. Therefore, go through the syllabus and strengthen basic Mathematical concepts. 

Work more on important topics 
There are some important topics in the RMO Syllabus, including Geometry, Permutations and Combinations, Number Theory, and Algebra. Work on these topics and ace them to qualify for the exam.

Pick up the right books
The right books will help you get on the right track. Some of the good books to prepare for the Regional Mathematical Olympiad are-

• An Excursion in Mathematics by M R Modak, S A Katre and V V Acharya, and V M Sholapurkar
• Mathematical Circles by Fomin and others
• Problem Primer for the Olympiads by C R Pranesachar, B J Venkatachala and C S Yogananda 
• Problem Solving Strategies by Arthur Engel 
• Challenge and Thrill of Pre-College Mathematics by V Krishnamurthy, C R Pranesachar, K N Ranganathan, and B J Venkatachala 

Practice sample papers
Sample papers can help you know the pattern and number of questions that appear in the exam. Moreover, the candidates will know other questions apart from the ones they have also prepared.
