IOQM 2026 Marathon: Students preparing for the Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics (IOQM) 2026 can join a free live marathon series featuring intensive revision, challenging problems and expert-led problem-solving sessions. The series will cover key areas including Algebra, Combinatorics, Number Theory and Geometry, along with an All India Mega Test and live solution session.
With 3 sessions and 20+ hours of preparation, the marathon is designed to help students revise important concepts, practise IOQM-level questions and improve their problem-solving approach before the examination.
The marathon series is focused on high-quality revision rather than simply covering theory. Students can expect:
IOQM-level mathematics problems
Concept-wise revision
Challenging problem-solving practice
Important approaches and shortcuts
Expert-led solutions
Strategies for handling difficult questions
Tips to improve speed and accuracy
An All India Mega Test with live analysis
The sessions are free to attend live, making them useful for students looking for focused revision without an additional cost.
The three-session series will cover different areas of Olympiad mathematics.
| IOQM 2026 Marathon Schedule | |||
| Date | Session | Time | Format |
| September 1, 2026 | Algebra + Combinatorics | 2 PM–10 PM | Free Live Marathon |
| September 3, 2026 | IOQM All India Mega Test + Live Solution | Test + Solution from 6 PM | Test + Live Solution |
| September 4, 2026 | Number Theory + Geometry | 2 PM–10 PM | Free Live Marathon |
The first session will focus on Algebra and Combinatorics, two important areas for mathematical problem-solving.
Students can use this session to revise concepts, understand different approaches to problems and practise questions that require logical thinking rather than direct formula application.
Time: 2 PM to 10 PM
Join the September 1 Live Session
The second event will allow students to test their preparation through the IOQM All India Mega Test.
Taking a full test can help students identify areas where they are making mistakes, struggling with time management or need additional practice.
A live solution session will begin from 6 PM onwards, allowing students to review the questions and understand the approaches used to solve them.

Watch the Live Solution Session
The final marathon will cover Number Theory and Geometry.
Students can use the session for intensive revision and practise problems that require observation, logical reasoning and creative approaches.
Time: 2 PM to 10 PM
Join the September 4 Live Session
Olympiad preparation requires more than memorising formulas. Students need to develop the ability to analyse unfamiliar problems and find efficient solution paths.
The marathon can help students:
Revise strategically: Focus on major topics instead of spending the final preparation days studying randomly.
Practise difficult problems: Exposure to challenging questions can help students become more comfortable with unfamiliar problem patterns.
Learn problem-solving approaches: Expert solutions can help students compare their methods with alternative approaches.
Identify weak areas: The mega test can help students understand which topics require more practice.
Improve accuracy: Regular practice and solution analysis can help students identify recurring mistakes.
Students should not treat the sessions as passive lectures. To get maximum benefit:
Keep a dedicated notebook for problems and important approaches.
Try solving each problem yourself before watching the solution.
Note down mistakes and unfamiliar concepts.
Revisit difficult questions after the session.
Attempt the mega test under proper test conditions.
Analyse incorrect and unanswered questions after the test.
Revise weak topics before moving to another topic.
Students can join each session through its respective YouTube link.
Before the session:
Open the session link.
Click “Set Reminder.”
Subscribe to the Olympiad Wallah YouTube channel.
Keep your notebook and stationery ready.
Join the session on time.
Students attempting the All India Mega Test should also complete the test before joining the live solution session.
For students preparing seriously for IOQM 2026, the three-day series offers a focused opportunity to revise four major areas and assess preparation through a dedicated mega test.
From Algebra and Combinatorics on September 1 to Number Theory and Geometry on September 4, the series combines revision, challenging problems, testing and expert solutions.
The sessions are free, so students can use these final preparation opportunities to practise smarter, identify gaps and strengthen their problem-solving skills.
