India bags 8 medals at 66th International Mathematical Olympiad 2025
An Indian team comprising six contestants won 8 medals including three gold at the 66th India International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), held this week at the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Among the three goldwinners, Adhitya Mangudy was representing Maharashtra. This is the second time India has won 3 Gold Medals at the IMO, the first being in 1998. Last year (2024), India made history by winning 4 Gold Medals at the 65th IMO. Since 1989, India has won a total of 23 Gold Medals, 12 of which were earned between 2019 and 2025. Notably, 9 of these came in the last three IMOs (2023, 2024, and 2025). Kanav Talwar and Aarav Gupta from Delhi, along with Adhitya Mangudy from Maharashtra, won Gold. Abel George Mathew from Karnataka and Aadish Jain from Delhi won Silver, while Archit Manas from Delhi secured a Bronze Medal. The team was accompanied by Prof. Shanta Laishram (Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi) as the leader, Dr. Mainak Ghosh (Indian Statistical Institute, Bengaluru) as the deputy leader, Mr. Atul Shatavart Nadig (undergraduate student, MIT, USA), and Dr. Rijul Saini as observers. India achieved an (unofficial) country rank of 7th out of 110 participating countries at the 66th IMO, which featured a total of 630 students. This is the third time India has secured a 7th-place finish at the IMO, matching its performances in 1998 and 2001. The country's best performance to date remains the 4th-place finish at the 65th IMO in 2024. India has now achieved a top-10 rank for the third consecutive year (9th in 2023, 4th in 2024, and 7th in 2025). Since its debut in 1989 (India did not participate in 2020 due to the pandemic), India has placed in the top 10 on seven occasions out of 35 appearances. Adding to this year's achievements, Anant Mudgal became the first Indian to serve on the Problem Selection Committee (PSC) of an IMO not hosted by India—another proud moment for the country at the 66th IMO. Mudgal has represented India at the IMP in the past for four consecutive years – 2015 to 2018 winning multiple medals. The Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, TIFR—India's nodal centre for training and selecting students for various International Olympiads —will felicitate the medallists on Monday in a formal function at its Mumbai campus.

The selection and training of Indian participants for the IMO are coordinated by the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), TIFR. The HBCSE is the nodal agency responsible for conducting the National Olympiad Examinations in various subjects including Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Astronomy. According to an official statement, this marks the third time India has achieved the 7th rank, equalling earlier results from 1998 and 2001. The country has now placed in the top 10 seven times in 35 appearances at the IMO since its debut in 1989. This year's Indian team included Kanav Talwar, Aarav Gupta, and Adhitya Mangudy, who each secured gold medals. Silver medals were awarded to Abel George Mathew and Aadish Jain, while Archit Manas won the bronze. All six participants are from different parts of the country, with four of them based in Delhi. The Indian delegation to IMO 2025 was led by Prof Shanta Laishram from the Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi, and Deputy Leader Dr Mainak Ghosh from ISI Bengaluru. Observers included Mr Atul Shatavart Nadig, a BS student at MIT, USA, and Dr Rijul Saini. According to the statement by the HBCSE, India's performance in the IMO has shown consistent improvement in recent years. This is the second time the country has won three gold medals at the Olympiad, the first was in 1998. In 2024, India achieved its best-ever rank of 4th and won four gold medals. From 2019 to 2025, Indian students have won 12 gold medals, including nine in the last three years alone (2023, 2024, and 2025). The International Mathematical Olympiad features six problems, selected from topics such as algebra, combinatorics, number theory, and geometry. Participating countries are allowed to propose up to six problems, which are reviewed and shortlisted by a Problem Selection Committee set up by the host country in consultation with the IMO Board. The maximum individual score at the IMO is 42, with a team total score cap of 252 across six members. This year, at the IMO, a total of 630 students from 110 countries participated.
