Equivalent for NSEP, NSEC, NSEB, and NSEA...?

Like we have books for IOQM: PJ Sir Pathfinder Junior book, VOS Book, Disha Book, PW Book

And for RMO-INMO: PJ Sir New Book (Similar to Pathfinder Senior) and Disha Book

So, what are similar books for the NSE stage and then further INO stage?

Like for Physics there's this new book by Anurag Mishra sir, which seems for NSEP, and we have the Physics Pathfinder for INPhO... Maybe that's for Physics.

But what about Chemistry, Biology, and Astronomy?

(I am only thinking about giving NSEP and NSEC, but asking about NSEB and NSEA too for other people)

We had books published by Arihant for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology till 2021, but they stopped publishing those after that.

Please don't remove this post. 😭🙏🏻

How much should be the solve rate initially for solving IOQM PYQs for the first time for 2 markers, for 3 markers and for 5 markers ( What percentage of questions should be correct for the first time attempt)?

not getting otp on mobile no

I have tried login in ioqm online but no otp is coming for on mobile even tried with multiple phones what to do.

I'm not able to register for ioqm , on their official site I don't see any option like register individually they are options like centre registration etc.

Any volunteer can gimme the link

Pls choose and review a good book for class 10 CBSE

So guys, i am going to write ioqm 2026 (my first time , i am in tenth class) , and I have some knowledge of olympiads beforehand.( Thru nmtc).

I started my preparation in mid May , and am completed with number theory, and algebra and geometry ( well ,sort of).

Problem is , i know all the geometry concepts , but just simply don't know where to apply them . As a result, i just can't solve any geometry questions at all.

I feel like geometry questions are my Achilles heel, cuz in recent years, each paper has had 5-6 geometry questions, and i feel that if I don't strengthen my geometry, I won't be able to crack ioqm ( i am from Telangana, whose cutoff last year was 43)

So, do you guys have any ideas as to how I can actually start solving geometry problems??

So, today i attempted an ioqm mega mock test, ( three topics , geometry, number theory, and algebra). I studied for like 7hrs , preparing all the topics with ease , and figured that I would get at least 60 out of 100.

But sadly, i got 12 out of 100. The questions were on another level man . I could barely solve 4-5 questions.

I dont even know how to improve aswell . In the community, i see people getting 70's , and 50's in their tests . I just don't know what to do to make my score better.

And on top of that, i am in telangana , which had the highest cutoff last yr .

Please, this is my heartfelt request, can anyone just give some honest piece of advice to help me??

To all the People preparing for math Olympiads,,here's a lecture i recorded on euclidean geometry, it's the first of the whole euclidean geometry course ,, need genuine reviews from all levels , thanks

I m aware of the rules of the subreddit, this isn't a tutoring promotion lol, just need reviews.

I have only recently started my IOQM prep from PW. Which book should I do if I don't have much time to prepare? PW IOQM book or VOS IOQM book or PJ sir IOQM book or some other one?

Bhaii approx 2 months left only

I lovemaths

But i havent studied for it or prepped

I have two options either prep for it as possible in these 2 months and just attemp without expecting any high result or i should prep for my main focus that is tallentex and other olympiads this year and start prepping for ioqm from november or december 2026 for ioqm 2027 in 9th grade??

Hello Everyone.

Good Evening.

I am a Class 11 CBSE student from the state of Assam and I have recently started taking Olympiad mathematics seriously.

To be honest, I did not know much about IOQM, RMO, INMO, or the Olympiad pathways until around November–December of Class 10. Before that, most of my exposure to Olympiads was through exams like SOF's and SilverZone's, and I did really bad in their Mathematics Olympiad, even though I loved solving Mathematics Problems (In fact, I did so badly in Classes 7–8 that I only appeared for Science, Social Science, and GK Olympiads in Classes 9–10) so I never really learned how Mathematical Olympiads are prepared for.

However, I have appeared for the Assam Mathematics Olympiad (Category III: Classes 9–11) twice:

• AMO 2024: 15 marks

• AMO 2025: 21 marks

I obtained these scores without any dedicated Olympiad preparation, without studying Olympiad-specific books, and without knowing standard Olympiad topics or techniques. I appeared in AMO mainly because my Mathematics teacher encouraged me to do so, although I was never guided regarding preparation strategies or resources by him.

Academically, I am currently a Class 11 Science-stream student preparing for JEE. So, my Olympiad preparation therefore has to be balanced alongside school and JEE studies.

At present, I haven't yet completed much JEE Mathematics topics other than Basic Mathematics, and Set Theory.

I have very little formal experience with Olympiad Mathematics, but I do understand some Olympiad-style ideas and questions now through online discussions and communities. (Like those in the sub-reddit)

However, you could say I have almost no experience with proof-writing or systematic Olympiad preparation.

My goal for this year is to score around 30/100 in IOQM if possible and, more importantly, to build a strong foundation for future Olympiad mathematics. I am not aiming only for qualification because the Assam cut-offs are generally much lower than that. Rather, I want to genuinely improve my mathematical thinking and problem-solving ability.

Could you please assess my current level from the information above and suggest me stuff and stuff, for preparation and all?

Thank you very much for your time, anyone who's reading it.

I would look forward to your guidance and reply.
