About the Institute

Institute for Promotion of Mathematics is a unique Institute working since 1996 for school going children. We, at the Institute, realize and understand that the present education set-up does not give the student enough opportunity to tackle mathematical problems outside the routine path of school examinations. Hence, the Mathematics Scholarship Examination syllabus comprises of thought provoking and challenging topics, thus exposing some fascinating facets of mathematics.

The syllabus strives towards making the generally dreaded Maths Fun and Easy. In the course of time, students learn to analyze problems fast and anticipate results soon. Fast calculations help the students to perform well in school and later on in college too. The question papers are set keeping in mind the competitive exams children face later. The exposure that children are given is very helpful, because when they appear for their 10th std. Exams; the novelty of the state level exam is greatly reduced, which in turn improve performance.

The Institute conducts the All India Open Mathematics Scholarship Examination for Std. III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and awards Scholarship, Trophies/Mementoes to the top 150/200 students of each standard to honour and inspire them.

Objectives

1. To make the solving of mathematical problems a joyful activity and in general to sharpen a child's mathematical skills.
2. To test not the mechanical part of problem solving, but a child's ability to understand the basic concepts on various topics and their applications.
3. To emphasize mental arithmetic which is essential for quick and clear thinking.
4. To encourage and prepare young students to appear for various Mathematics Competitive examination and to inculcate in them an ambition to succeed in such competitive examination from an early age.
5. To honour and inspire the Meritorious students by awarding Scholarships, Prizes & Mementoes.

Importance & Benefits to the students

1. Develop a healthy, competitive spirit in the minds of the students.
2. Strengthens their basic concepts and analytic ability in mathematics thus enabling them to build a firm foundation in Maths.
3. Students learn new, quick and interesting method of calculation.
