Stage 1: The first stage exam, Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics (IOQM) (formerly PRMO) is a three-hour exam with 30 questions. The answer to each question is either a one- or two-digit number and must be entered on the machine-readable OMR answer sheet. IOQM Question Paper is available in English and Hindi.
The IOQM is a written exam consisting of complex mathematical problems. It tests students' problem-solving skills, mathematical reasoning and creativity. For the purpose of training and selecting students for the Olympiad contest, several regions all over the country have been designated, each assigned a Regional Coordinator. Additionally, two groups of schools: Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNV) and Kendriya Vidyalayas (KV) are also treated as separate regions and have a ‘Regional Coordinator’ each.Stage 2: Regional Math Olympiad (RMO)
Stage 3: Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO)
Stage 4: International Mathematical Olympiad Training Course (IMOTC)
Stage 5: Pre Departure Camp (PDC)
Stage 6: International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO)

IOQM Exam is a series of Mathematical Olympiads conducted to promote the overall development of students. We have detailed below the IOQM Exam Benefits and Perks:
How well are concepts understood
International Olympiad exams are not like traditional school exams. Olympiad exam questions require students to have a detailed understanding of the concepts in the solution. These questions also require students to use their thinking limits and apply two or more concepts by combining them to solve problems. This helps students understand concepts in detail and depth rather than regurgitating concepts without a clear purpose. Also, these exams are competitive exams, so you have to think outside the box to get the right answers.
Motivates them for future competitive exams
Olympiad exam is a student's first experience with competitive exams. Therefore, it acts as a springboard for all the upcoming exams that students have to take in the future. Competitions in lower grades are limited to the school itself.
However, participating in the IOQM Exam gives students an opportunity to analyze their ability and interest in tougher competitive exams in higher categories like IIT JEE and NEET etc.
Moreover, these exams help students in various subjects of their interest and preference and plan their career accordingly. .This gives students the advantage of not having to use trial and error in selecting upper division courses.
Increases speed and accuracy in problem solving, reasoning and analytical skills.
Traditional education only focuses on teaching students to learn different concepts and chapters according to the curriculum. At the same time, special attention is not given to whether the student has understood the basic concept or whether the students can apply it in real life. But competitive exams like the Olympiad help students improve their problem solving, reasoning and analytical skills. They also play an important role in helping students understand how to apply what they learn in school to real life. These competitive exams are timed. Students have to answer a large number of questions in the given time. This can only be achieved if the students have a good understanding of the concepts and are able to apply them. Repeated practice on these tests also improves a student's speed, accuracy, and time management skills.
Increases student confidence.
Most students tend to be shy when they are young. Without proper encouragement or support, they can become introverted, preventing them from completing many tasks. Taking competitive exams like the Olympiad encourages students to learn and develop new skills. Succeeding in these exams also boosts students' confidence, allowing them to expand their learning horizons. Competitive exams, like the Olympiad, help students identify where they stand among their peers from across the country.
