Southeast Asian Mathematical Olympiad comes to India

Hyderabad: In an endeavour to inspire and embrace enthusiastic young minds in India, the Southeast Asian Mathematical Olympiad (SEAMO) is geared to conduct their Olympiad in the country for the first time. SEAMO is a unique platform dedicated to provide resources for students of various levels to hone their problem-solving skills and to prepare for more challenging mathematical competitions. The test date for SEAMO in India is August 6.

Students of Class V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI & XII are eligible for the Olympiad. The duration of the exam is 2 hours and entails Multiple Choice Questions in Mathematics. With a presence in eleven Asian countries such as Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Jakarta, Brunei, Timor-Leste and Philippines, SEAMO will now provide Indian students an opportunity to identify and discover their mathematical talents through creative challenges.

For participating students, SEAMO offer numerous benefits. Firstly, participating students benefit from a National and International Ranking. Secondly, since the question paper will be prepared at the same time for India as well as for other countries, the level of difficulty of both exams will remain same. Therefore, this Olympiad will set a clear benchmark for Indian students about their performance as compared to international students.

Terry Chew, Associate Executive Director, Program Manager at SEAMO said, “We are delighted to introduce our comprehensive Olympiad to the bright and young math enthusiasts of India. SEAMO is a first-of-its-kind platform that exposes students to in-depth, stimulating and interesting mathematical problems. It is my pleasure to welcome the students to partake in one of the most stimulating and creative exams in the South East.” The Registration Fee for Class V to IX students is Rs. 1150 (including service tax) and for Class X, XI & XII students is Rs. 1300 (including service tax).
