57th NATIONAL MATHEMATICS TALENT CONTESTS

Last date of Application : 01.07.2025
The AMTI is a pioneer organization with popularizing of Math Education in promoting and conducting
Mathematics Talent Tests in India. Last year (in the 56th National level tests,) 56595 students spread all
over India participated at the screening level. About 10% of them were selected for the finals. Merit
certificates and prizes were awarded to the deserving students selected in the finals.

AIM OF THE TESTS:

To identify and encourage students who have the capacity for original and creative thinking, willingness to
attempt unfamiliar and non-routine problems, exhibiting a general mathematical ability.
PARTICIPANTS:
Students from Schools, Junior Colleges of all boards, Degree Colleges and Technical Institutions in India.
Primary Gauss Contest V and VI Standards
Sub-Junior Kaprekar Contest VII and VIII Standards
Junior Bhaskara Contest IX and X Standards
Inter Ramanujan Contest XI and XII Standards
Senior Aryabhata Contest Degree Classes in Arts, Science &
Technical Institutions
MEDIUM:
All levels of tests will be only in ENGLISH.

FEES :
Rs.150/- per candidate (Rs. 25/- claim can be made by the institution for any type of expenses.)

SENIOR:
(ARYABHATTA CONTEST FOR COLLEGE LEVEL):
It is a three hours examination of subjective questions with the syllabus of typical B.Sc. Mathematics course.

MODE OF EXAMINATION
 Every candidate except the senior level will take two tests- Preliminary Test and Final Test.
 Senior (Degree College) level students will take only the final test.
 The date and time of the examination stipulated by AMTI should be strictly followed and cannot be
altered by the centers.

PRELIMINARY TEST:
The Preliminary test will be conducted in the participating schools itself by the school. AMTI will send the
question paper and the other materials to the registered School Email as per the Data consolidation sheet.

The Principal or the authorized person may download the question paper and the materials and conduct the
preliminary examination. The top 10% of students based on the Preliminary test performance will be
selected by the respective registered Institutions / Schools.

 Preliminary test will be of objective type for Primary, Sub-Junior, Junior and Inter levels and will
be of 2 hours duration.
 In order to encourage the participation of students from various institutions following various curricula
across the Nation, the question papers in the first level will comprise of questions that test their problem-
solving skills in their respective levels.
 The Preliminary level questions will comprise of Multiple choice, Fill in the blanks problems, etc.
roughly with the following levels of difficulty:
 20% of the questions that are of moderate level.
 80% of questions with higher level of difficulty, somewhat similar to Olympiad.
The responses in the preliminary test will be written in the response sheets which will be provided by the
AMTI to the registered School Email as per the Data consolidation sheet. The institution will conduct the
preliminary test in its own premises; the objective type preliminary papers will also be evaluated by the
respective institutions (based on the key that will be supplied by AMTI on the next day of preliminary
exam.) and the list of top 10% scorers only at each level in the Preliminary Test will be intimated to us.
Important Note: Strictly top 10% screened scorers will be allowed any additional names communicated to
AMTI, over and above10%, will be rejected.
Students selected at the Preliminary level test will get certificates which may be treated as the Hall Ticket
for the final examination.
FINAL (SECOND LEVEL) TEST:
Only the candidates selected at the preliminary level can appear for the final. It is 3-hours test of subjective
type questions reflecting the syllabi of PRMO, RMO, INMO and IMO.
 The final examination will be held in allotted Center by The AMTI.
AMTI will send the question paper and the other materials to the same school mail. The Principal or
authorized school person may download the question paper and the materials and conduct the final
examination.

Special Note: Answer books of the final test containing the solutions written by participants should be
dispatched on the same day of the examination and delayed receipts will not be entertained.
Answer sheets (un-ruled only, preferably A4 size) for the Final test have to be supplied by the respective
schools.

The date and time of the examination cannot be altered by the centers on any account.
