In 2023, 14 out of 27 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 prestigious contests in India for students under 20, aiming to identify exceptional mathematical talent. Participants solve challenging math problems in these stages, with INMO serving as a platform to recognize top problem solvers and offer opportunities for further training and representation in international competitions like the 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. Let's learn about the RMO Success stories from Aharshi Roy and Nandagovind Anurag, students who excelled in RMO, valuable perspectives emerged on their journey, methodologies, and recommended strategies for aspirants.
Aharshi, an RMO qualifier, shared his journey primarily focused on preparing for INMO. He highlighted the significance of the initial one-year period dedicated to subjective Olympiad training. His advice encompassed the following key points:
Nandagovind's journey, starting just ten months before RMO, showcased the importance of strategic preparation and subject specialization. His key takeaways included:
The shared experiences and insights from Aharshi Roy and Nandagovind Anurag offer a comprehensive view of successful RMO strategies. Their emphasis on strategic preparation, resource selection, specialized focus, and diverse problem-solving techniques provides aspiring Olympiad participants with valuable guidance.
In the realm of Olympiad Mathematics, beyond formulas and theorems, lies the art of thinking creatively, exploring diverse approaches, and persistently tackling problems—a fundamental aspect highlighted by these champions.

Publishing original scientific research in a peer-reviewed journal is an achievement many scholars work toward for years. Achieving this feat early in one's academic journey requires exceptional intellectual rigor, creativity, and persistence.
