Abel George Mathew (Karnataka) and Aadish Jain (Delhi) won silver medals, while Archit Manas (Delhi) bagged a bronze. The Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) issued a statement that with this achievement India came seventh at the IMO for the third time and equalled the feats of 1998 and 2001. The best rank achieved, so far, is fourth at the 65th IMO in 2024. It further said, "This is the third time in a row India has achieved a rank in the top 10 at the IMO (India finished ninth at IMO 2023 and fourth at IMO 2024). Since its debut in 1989, India has been placed in the top 10 on seven out of 35 occasions (India did not participate in 2020 because of the pandemic). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo " This year, Team India set a new record by achieving the country's highest-ever cumulative score of 193 out of a maximum of 252. The HBCSE, TIFR, is the nodal centre for training and selecting students to represent India at various international olympiads in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy and astrophysics. HBCSE conducts the national olympiad examination which serves as the gateway for final team selection. The statement said, "In IMO, questions are from four broad topics — algebra, combinatorics, number theory and geometry. The host country seeks proposals from every participating country and each can submit up to six problems. Upon receiving the problems by a certain deadline, the problem selection committee (PSC), appointed by the host country and approved by the IMO board, works on all the problems for at least two months and prepares the IMO shortlist (ISL). " Anant Mudgal, a member of the PSC of IMO 2025, said, "I thank the Mathematical Teachers' Association (India), Chennai Mathematical Institute and the funding agencies for their continued strong support to the mathematical olympiad programme, which enables us to showcase Indian talent on the global stage."

India secures 7th rank at 66th international mathematical olympiad
India matched its best-ever rank—7th globally—at the 66th International Mathematical Olympiad in Australia, earning a record 193 points with three gold, two silver, and one bronze medal. India delivered a stellar performance at the 66th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) held in Sunshine Coast, Australia, finishing 7th among 110 participating countries, matching its best historical rank and setting a new national record. The six-member Indian team returned with a full medal tally, comprising three gold, two silver, and one bronze. With a cumulative score of 193 out of 252, this marks India's highest-ever score at the IMO, surpassing all previous records since its debut in 1989. The gold medal winners were Kanav Talwar, Aarav Gupta, and Adhitya Mangudy. Abel George Mathew and Aadish Jain took home silver medals, while Archit Manas earned a bronze. The students, hailing from various parts of India, including four from Delhi, competed against 630 participants worldwide. The team's performance places India 7th globally, a rank it had previously achieved in 1998 and 2001. This also marks the second time India has won three gold medals at a single IMO, with the first instance occurring in 1998. India's best-ever performance came in 2024, when the team secured the 4th position and bagged four gold medals. The Indian delegation was led by Prof. Shanta Laishram of the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Delhi, with Dr. Mainak Ghosh from ISI Bengaluru serving as Deputy Leader. Observers included MIT undergraduate Atul Shatavart Nadig and Dr. Rijul Saini. The selection and training of India's IMO team are coordinated by the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), TIFR, the national nodal agency for Olympiad programmes in subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy. India's sustained excellence at the IMO has been underscored by consistent top-10 finishes—seven in total since 1989—and an accelerating medal count in recent years. Between 2023 and 2025 alone, Indian students have clinched nine gold medals. The IMO challenges participants with six advanced-level problems in areas such as algebra, combinatorics, number theory, and geometry. Each student can earn a maximum of 42 points, with the combined team score capped at 252.

Russian students secure six medals at worlds top math contest
The team shared second place in the unofficial ranking with students from the US Russian high schoolers have won five gold medals and one silver at the 66th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The team, represented by six students from various Russian regions, ranked second after China in the unofficial standings, sharing the spot with the US. Held annually since 1959, the IMO is considered the most challenging math competition for high school students, requiring creativity and rigorous logical reasoning. Gold medals were awarded to Dmitry Grishko from Moscow, Ivan Chasovskikh from Khimki (a northwestern suburb of the capital), Ilya Zamotorin from Saint Petersburg, Vasily Patrushev from Vladivostok, and Artyom Sadykov from Chelyabinsk, each scoring between 35 and 42 points. A silver medal was awarded to Ivan Kokarev, also from Chelyabinsk. For the Russian national team, the competition was held remotely at a venue provided by Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov congratulated the winners. Chernyshenko emphasized that the students had continued Russia's rich mathematical traditions, noting the country's legacy of producing many renowned figures in the field. Kravtsov added that the students' success highlights the high quality of Russia's education system and the strength of its mathematics. The officials also thanked the educators who contributed to the students' preparation. The Russian team was led by Kirill Sukhov, head of the resource center for supplementary education at the Presidential Physics and Mathematics Lyceum 239 in Saint Petersburg. The IMO is ranked among the seven most prestigious subject-specific competitions in the world, collectively known as the International Science Olympiads. This year's contest, hosted by Australia, attracted 641 participants from 112 countries. The Chinese team dominated the competition, winning all six gold medals and placing first in the overall team ranking. (
