NMTC 2022

The National Mathematics Talent Contest, commonly known as NMTC, is a popular test in the field of Mathematics. This contest is conducted by the Association of Mathematics Teachers of India (AMTI) and is held at a national level. NMTC is carried out with one sole aim –  “to find and encourage students who have the ability for original and creative thinking, preparedness to tackle unknown and non-routine problems having a general mathematical ability suitable to their level.” 

Who can participate in this contest? Students from schools, junior colleges of all boards, degree colleges and technological institutions in India can take part in it. Further details are given below.

The examination is conducted in two stages.

Stage 1 (Preliminary Test)

The Preliminary test will be conducted at the participating schools. AMTI will send the question paper on the day of the test. The Principal or the authorised person will be the centre in charge of  conducting the examinations. The top 10% of students, based on their performance in the Preliminary test, will be selected by the respective schools. The Preliminary test is of 2 hours duration. It is an objective type test for primary, sub-junior, junior and inter levels. The evaluation of the objective-type papers will be done by the respective institutions as per the key given by the AMTI. 

Stage 2 (Final Test)

Those who are selected at the Preliminary level can appear for the Final test. The duration of the Final test is 3 hours. It consists of subjective-type questions. The second-level tests will be held only at the centres authorised by the AMTI.

NMTC Syllabus for Classes VII and VIII (Sub-junior)

All the topics for primary are also included in the NMTC 2022 syllabus of the sub-junior.

Mensuration Three-dimensional: cube, cuboid, sphere, cone, cylinder, and pyramid
Arithmetic Square roots and cube roots, allegation, average, time and work, time and distance, races, games of skill, and travelling around a circle
Number theory Prime and composite numbers, and divisibility
Geometry Triangle inequalities, parallelograms, trapezoids, and Pythagoras theorem
Algebra Algebraic equations of degree 1 and degree 2, algebraic identities, factorisation of algebraic expressions, laws of indices, and basics of surds

NMTC Syllabus for Class IX and X (Junior)

All the topics for primary and sub-junior levels are also included in the NMTC 2022 syllabus of the junior.

Algebra Quadratic and higher degree algebraic equations, remainder theorem, logarithms, sequences and series, scales of notations, mathematical induction, and basic inequalities

Geometry Trigonometric, vector, coordinate geometric and complex number methods may be used
Combinatorics Counting techniques and recurrence relations.

NMTC Syllabus for Degree Classes in Arts, Science & Technical Colleges (Senior)

The syllabus of BSc Maths is followed for the senior category.

NMTC Exam Pattern

Stage 1, or the Preliminary test of NMTC, will mainly consist of objective-type questions and will be a mixture of multiple choices and fill-in-the-blanks format.

Stage 2, or the Final test, will mostly consist of subjective questions where students are expected to write the complete answers for each question.

Problems pertaining to the concepts given in the syllabus will basically be of a non-routine type, and their difficulty level will increase from RMO to INMO to IMO standard.

However, the standard of the questions will be class appropriate, but they will require original thinking. Questions in primary and sub-junior will test the students’ clear understanding of the concepts learnt in their classes. Junior and inter will be more difficult because it is expected that students of these classes are ready to face PRMO and RMO. So, they should have a fundamental knowledge of all the topics.

NMTC Medium of Exam

The medium will only be in ENGLISH (for all levels). In previous years, NMTC was conducted in eight different language mediums. The paper was set in English, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil or Telugu.

NMTC Awards

Cash awards and merit certificates are offered to the top 3 winners in each level in the finals. 1st position will receive Rs.5000/-, 2nd position will get Rs.2500/- and 3rd position will be awarded Rs. 1250/-. Additionally, merit certificates with a token cash award are also given to others selected at the Final level. This will be based on their revealing a fair level of mathematical knowledge. Enrichment contact courses are also likely to be organised for promising toppers.
