The Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) is a prestigious mathematics competition in India, serving as the second stage of the Indian Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) selection process. Top performers earn a chance to attend the International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp (IMOTC) and represent India at the IMO.
In 2025, 10 students from Cheenta (ex-student and current student) qualified INMO out of 30 students all over India. Most of these kids regularly attended the five-days-a-week problem-solving sessions along with concept class, homework class and doubt clearing classes. Here are a few qualifiers:
Watch their stories of success
In our recent live session, we had the pleasure of hearing from some brilliant students—Nand, Pranit, Harini, Arri, and Maan—as they shared their inspiring journeys through the world of Math Olympiads.
From starting in 6th or even 10th grade, to cracking INMO and aiming for IMO, each story was unique but full of passion, hard work, and clever strategies. 💡
Some focused on solving problems every day, while others relied on books like EGMO, Secrets in Inequalities, and Olympiad Combinatorics.
When stuck, they turned to friends, asked for hints, or explored communities online—reminding us that learning together makes the journey better.
Advice from them? Don’t be afraid to look at hints in the early days. With time, the thinking matures, and one learns to enjoy the challenge of sticking with a tough problem.
At Cheenta, we are proud to walk this path with such talented learners.
