The Challenge Awaits

Road to Olympiad

Your comprehensive guide to navigating the RTO process, mastering advanced concepts, and accessing essential study materials.

Olympiad Selection Process

Students in Nepal reach the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) through several selection stages. Each stage narrows the pool and trains the students who advance.

  1. 1

    DMO

    District Math Olympiad

    The first step. Open to thousands of students across districts in Nepal.

  2. 2

    PMO

    Provincial Math Olympiad

    Top performers from districts compete at the provincial level.

  3. 3

    NMO

    National Math Olympiad

    The elite few battle it out nationally to enter the training camp.

  4. 4

    Camp

    Olympiad Training Camp

    Intensive training for the national team prospects.

  5. 5

    IMO

    International Math Olympiad

    Representing Nepal on the global stage.

    Final stage

DMO Practice Questions

Sharpen your problem-solving skills with a diverse set of District Mathematical Olympiad practice questions. Each set is designed to challenge and prepare you for the real competition.
