- Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics (IOQM) is the first stage of the Mathematical Olympiad Programme in India and is conducted by the Mathematics Teachers’ Association (MTA).
- In the 2024-2025 cycle, the selection to the International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp (IMOTC) will be accomplished in three stages. The initial stage involves the Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics (IOQM) from which successful candidates will advance to the second phase known as the Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO) scheduled for November 3, 2024, The final and third phase, designated as the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) is set to take place on January 19, 2025.
