The Regional Mathematics Olympiad (RMO) is the second round of the Mathematics Olympiad. The candidates who qualified in the Pre-Regional Mathematics Olympiad (PRMO) are eligible to appear for this examination. The candidates who do well in RMO are called for the Indian National Mathematics Olympiad (INMO). The candidates who qualify in INMO are given training and sent for the International Olympiad.
