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.

India ranks 7th at International Mathematical Olympiad 2025; wins 3 golds
The Indian team secured the 7th position out of 110 countries at the 66th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) held in Sunshine Coast, Australia. India's team at the 2025 edition consisted of six contestants and returned with a total of six medals, including, three gold, two silver, and one bronze. The unofficial country rank based on the results is 7th, and the team also set a new national record with a cumulative score of 193 out of 252, the highest ever by India at the IMO. 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.
