In 2025, 8 students from Cheenta Academy cracked the prestigious Regional Math Olympiad. In this post, we will share some of their success stories and learning strategies.
The Regional Mathematics Olympiad (RMO) and the Indian National Mathematics Olympiad (INMO) are two most important mathematics contests in India.These two contests are for the students who are below 20 years of age.
These contests help find students with strong mathematical talent. INMO is the higher stage after RMO. It recognises the best problem solvers in the country.
In RMO the top performers may get chances for further training.They may also get opportunities to represent India in international competitions like the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
Achieving success in the Regional Mathematics Olympiad (RMO) and aiming for the Indian National Mathematics Olympiad (INMO) is a remarkable feat, requiring dedication, strategic preparation, and a strong foundation in mathematical problem-solving.
In this post, we share RMO success stories of Ayan kalra & Adhiraj Singh Anand. They performed excellently in RMO. Through their experiences, we learn about their journey, study methods, and useful tips for students who are preparing for RMO and INMO.
The Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics (IOQM) is one of India’s most esteemed competitions. In 2025, 27 Cheenta students (current & ex) qualified, moving toward RMO.
Their success reflects consistent effort in problem-solving sessions, concept classes, homework, and doubt-clearing, guided by Cheenta’s rigorous mentorship.
Congratulations to our IOQM 2025 Qualifiers!
We are immensely proud of each student who took on this challenge — and this is just the beginning of their Olympiad journey.
The Purple Comet Math Meet 2025 witnessed a phenomenal performance from Cheenta Academy students, as two dynamic teams—Number Ninjas and The Imaginary Unit—made a powerful mark on the national and global stage.
Organized by Titu Andreescu and Jonathan Kane, the Purple Comet is one of the most respected international math contests, especially known for its collaborative format and problem-solving depth. The contest encourages team participation, critical thinking, and strategic collaboration—hallmarks of a strong mathematical foundation.
Number Ninjas, comprising six brilliant minds—Raghav Mukhija, Vihaan Shah, Utkarsh Shah, Aryan Dixit, Sudarshan Manikantan, and Mahitha Kallakuri—secured:
The Imaginary Unit, a focused team of five—Reyaansh Agrawal, Adhiraj Anand, Arham Gada, Shamik Saraswati, and Saket Manikantan—achieved:
Even students from Grade 4 onward can participate in the Middle School category. The first few problems are accessible to those with basic school math proficiency. It's a golden opportunity for young math enthusiasts to step into the world of global mathematics.

All-in-One: OTIS Excerpts by Evan Chen (available online)
This year, 8 brilliant students from Cheenta Academy formed a team called The Unified Vectors and secured spot in the Top 20 during the Team Round and received distinguished Honorable Mention in the overall competition in the Stanford Math Tournament.
The Stanford Math Tournament, an online event organized by Stanford students, challenges participants from around the world in four rigorous rounds: Power Round, Team Round, Individual Round, and the Guts Round. Each of these stages tests the mathematical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and collaboration of students. This year’s competition saw a diverse set of problems that ranged from algebra and geometry to combinatorics, calculus, and graph theory.
The Unified Vectors team, including Krishiv Mohan, Raghav Mukhija, Dakkshitaa Agarwal, Reyaansh Agrawal, Saket Manikantan, Sudarshan Manikantan, Vihaan Shah and Aryan Dixit, put in months of preparation, participating in mock tests, strategizing team coordination, and refining their individual skills. Their commitment paid off as they received Distinguished Honorable Mention in both the Team Round and the Overall category, placing them in the top 25% of all competitors.
Here’s how they succeeded:
Congratulations to the team for their hard work, perseverance, and teamwork. Their experience and success in this global tournament will undoubtedly enhance their portfolios as they continue to pursue opportunities in mathematics and beyond.
Arjun Gupta is one of the brightest young minds, who has made remarkable achievements in the world of Math Olympiads.
Arjun’s mathematical story includes success in the IOQM 2023 and RMO 2023, where his performance placed him among the top math talents in India. With focused preparation and strong mentorship at Cheenta, he went on to qualify for the INMO (Indian National Mathematical Olympiad) — a highly competitive stage. His success at INMO led him to the prestigious INMO Training Camp (INMOTC), where India’s most promising young mathematicians train for international excellence.
Arjun reached one of the highest school-level math competitions by representing India at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). He won both bronze and gold medal at the IMO, which placed him among the world’s top young mathematicians from India.
Arjun’s love for problem-solving also led him to the Sharygin Geometrical Olympiad 2022, an international contest that focuses on deep geometrical thinking.
In 2025, Arjun achieved another goal by gaining admission to Cambridge University, along with three other Cheenta students who were accepted into Cambridge University.
But Arjun’s talent doesn’t stop at mathematics. He is also an internationally accomplished chess player. In his own words:
“Apart from Math, I love Chess such that I represented India twice in the World Youth Chess Championship category besides winning other Asian and National Chess Competitions.”
His achievements in IMO were recognized widely, including a special feature in the Times of India, celebrating Cheenta students' contributions to the world of Olympiads. Here is the link of the article.
In 2025, 5 students from Cheenta successfully secured acceptance to two of the most prestigious universities, Oxford and Cambridge University. Most of these outstanding achievers were part of Cheenta's renowned Path to Ivy League Program, which continues to guide talented individuals toward top-tier global institutions.

In this video, you’ll learn the effective path toward the Ivy League Program.
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.
39 Cheenta students qualified for IOQM 2024 (RMO cut-off). About 130 kids students appeared in the contest from Cheenta this year making the success rate about 30%.
This remarkable achievement is the result of months of dedicated effort. Most of these students regularly participated in
Here are some of the qualified students who additionally qualified for Cheenta Advanced Math Expert Certification. Cheenta certifications are for pure mathematics, computer science, statistics, physics and research. They are accepted by our collaborating institutions for scholarships, internships and work-study opportunities.
