IMO FAQs
I have cleared IMO and I have come to know from my school/from your website that I am eligible for an award. I am studying in a different school / passed out from school and pursuing further studies. Will I come to know about the date and venue?
As soon as we finalise the date and venue of the presentation ceremony, we send out the information to the schools concerned and also to the winner's residence addresses as available with us. So preferably please be in touch with your previous school. The information will also be put on the website.
How does a student benefit by taking IMO ?
Participants of IMO are ranked on the basis of marks obtained. Hence, after taking the test, students can judge themselves academically at four different levels - within the school, at city and state level, and above all at International level. Finally students are suitably awarded based on their international ranking. Prizes include medals, books and magazines, cash prizes, computers, CDs, etc.. The prizes for the first 3 toppers of each class are awarded at a grand prize distribution ceremony presided over by an eminent personality. Rest of the prizes are either sent to the schools or can be collected from the Foundation office after announcement.
