Announcement regarding Indian participation in International Mathematical Olympiad in 2021 

The following decision is announced regarding the participation of the Indian team in the International Mathematical Olympiad 2021. This decision has been taken after detailed discussion at various levels of HBCSE, the National Board for Higher Mathematics (DAE), and also in consultation with several senior doctors. The decision is approved by the competent authorities in the Govt. of India responsible for the Olympiad programme.

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) will be held in the online mode during 14-24 July, 2021. The IMO organizers have allowed students of countries severely affected by the Covid pandemic to take the examinations from their homes, under continuous video surveillance. Accordingly, Indian students will participate in IMO from their respective homes. The following students have been selected for the Indian team, based on their performance in the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (2021), as declared earlier.

PRANJAL SRIVASTAVA (IA40-0000-300002)
ROHAN GOYAL (IA40-0000-300017)
SUCHIR KAUSTAV (UP00-0100-147812)
ANISH YOGESH KULKARNI (MH08-1110-139563)
VEDANT SAINI (CH00-3000-125010)
