About the Organization

Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana is a Pune based Mathematics Institute founded in 1976 by the world famous Indian Mathematician Prof. Shreeram Shankar Abhyankar for conducting research in Higher Mathematics. Over the years several students studied under the guidance of Prof. S. S. Abhyankar, Prof. Ravi Kulkarni, Prof. S. M. Bhatwadekar and others, and obtained their Ph.D. degree. Since 1992 the Pratishthana has also been a recognised centre for conducting Regional Mathematics Olympiad (RMO) under the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) for Maharashtra and Goa Region. 

Competition Details

Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana (BP) has earned a very high reputation in providing mathematics training to school students from the 5th standard onwards – as well as in helping students prepare for the various  exam stages that lead to the Indian team selection for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Many students from the BP have gone on to win medals at the IMO.

The Bhaskaracharya Mathematics Talent Search Competition (BMTSC) is a pre-Olympiad level competition that was started in 2014-15 by the BP, to commemorate the 900th birth anniversary of the legendary Indian mathematician Bhaskaracharya II. Conducting such an annual mathematics competition at the school level, is a fitting tribute to Bhaskaracharya II.

The exam will be conducted in two rounds:

  • Round 1: Objective examination; Online. (Sunday 8th December 2024)
  • Round 2: Subjective examination; Written answers with explanation. (Sunday 2nd February 2025)

The question paper for the first round will consist of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and numerical answer type questions. This question paper will also be available in Marathi.
