NMTC Syllabus 2025: The Association of Mathematics Teachers of India (AMTI) has designed the NMTC Syllabus 2025 for all levels of the National Mathematics Talent Contest (NMTC). Students should carefully study the NMTC chapters as per their respective classes to succeed in the Preliminary and Final Stages of the exam.
The NMTC syllabus 2025 is according to level – Primary (Class 5 & 6), Sub-Junior (Class 7 & 8), Junior (Class 9 & 10), Inter (Class 11 & 12), and Senior (Degree level). The exam primarily tests problem-solving, logical reasoning, number theory, geometry, algebra, and combinatorics. Completing the syllabus early will help students in effective revision before the exam.
This NMTC Syllabus 2025 ensures an understanding of mathematics for different levels. The table below provides an overview of the NMTC Exam 2025:
