About PROMYS India

PROMYS India is a partnership of PROMYS (Program in Mathematics for Young Scientists) with Indian Institute of Science (IISc). A challenging six-week summer programme, PROMYS India is designed to encourage mathematically talented secondary and higher secondary students to explore the creative world of mathematics. Exposed to mathematics that is both beautiful and daunting, participants learn not just as students but as scientists.

Programme Details

A challenging six-week residential mathematics summer programme, PROMYS India is open to mathematically talented secondary and higher secondary students (Standards IX – XII or equivalent). Meticulously selected students from across India will gather on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru to immerse themselves in rigorous mathematics.

PROMYS India is closely modelled on its parent programme, Program in Mathematics for Young Scientists (PROMYS) which has been running at Boston University in the United States since 1989.

The programme will run from 11 May to 21 June 2025. Exceptionally talented groups of students and counsellors gathered for six weeks of exciting mathematics on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru for PROMYS India 2023 and PROMYS India 2024.

Full Scholarships: All students accepted to PROMYS India 2025 will receive a full scholarship covering all tuition, hostel, and meals. In addition, applicants can apply for need-based funds for travel and laundry expenses. These full scholarships are thanks to the generosity and vision of PROMYS India’s founding sponsors: Nick Nash & Phalgun Raju and Avi and Sandra Nash and to the Lucile and David Packard Foundation and PROMYS India’s other generous partners and donors.

Eligibility

To be eligible to apply, students must be in secondary or higher secondary school in Standards IX – XII (or +1, +2, or PUC). Students attending government-funded schools, government-aided private schools, unaided private or independent schools, sixth form colleges, home schools, and other types of secondary and higher secondary schools in India are all eligible to apply. Students need to be at least 15 (and not yet 19) by the start of the programme.

How to Apply?

The application includes a challenging problem set, application form, recommendation from a mathematics teacher, and school report card(s). Families who are applying for need-based funding for travel and laundry also complete a financial aid form.
