From 2019 to 2025, Indian students have collectively won 12 gold medals, with nine golds earned in just the last three years -- 2023, 2024, and THE INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICAL OLYMPIADThe IMO is the world's most prestigious mathematics competition for high school participating country fields six students, who solve six challenging problems over two days, covering algebra, number theory, combinatorics, and geometry. The maximum individual score is 42, with a team total of year's Olympiad hosted 630 students from 110 nations, making India's performance especially commendable among a highly competitive international field.- Ends
