    Course overview

    What Is IOQM?

    IOQM replaced the old PRMO from 2021. It is a 3-hour, 30-question integer-answer paper that selects ~900 students nationally for the next HBCSE stage (RMO + INMO). Top performers go on to IMOTC and ultimately the Indian IMO team.

    Who is it for?
    Class 8–12 students targeting IOQM — or strong school students who want a head-start on India's olympiad pathway.
    How is it taught?
    Live 1-to-1 online classes with a verified Mathematics mentor. Your first session is a free trial that maps your level, then classes follow a personal plan. From $20/hour.

    How IOQM mentoring works

    1. Step 1

      Free trial & level check

      Your first 1-to-1 session is free. A Mathematics mentor works through IOQM problems with you to find exactly where marks are being lost.

    2. Step 2

      Your personal plan

      We write a plan around those gaps, starting with Number Theory, Algebra, Combinatorics, paced to your exam date.

    3. Step 3

      Live 1-to-1 classes

      Weekly online sessions with the same matched mentor, with practice set between lessons and every mistake reviewed.

    4. Step 4

      Progress updates

      Parents get regular updates on accuracy, pace and readiness. If the mentor fit isn't right, we rematch at no cost.
