Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad


Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad (BdMO) is an annual mathematical competition arranged for school and college students to nourish their interest and capabilities for mathematics. It has been regularly organized by the Bangladesh Math Olympiad Committee (BdMOC) since 2001. The first Math Olympiad was held in Shahjalal University of Science and Technology.

With the dedicated endeavor of the members of the committee, the daily newspaper Prothom Alo and the Dutch Bangla Bank Limitedf, BdMOC has already achieved its primary goal – to send team in International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Bangladeshi students have been participating in the International Mathematical Olympiad since 2005.

Besides arranging Divisional and National Math Olympiad, BdMOC always extends its cooperation to all interested groups and personals who want to arrange Math Olympiad. The Bangladesh Math Olympiad and the selection of National Team for IMO is bounded by the set rules by the BdMOC called BdMO Regulations. Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad is open for school and college students of the country. The usual timing of the festivals is around December–January–February. In IMO 2014, the Bangladesh team achieved one silver, one bronze and four honorable mentions, placing the country at 53 among 101 participating countries. In the IMO 2015, the Bangladesh team attained one silver, four bronze and one honorable mention placing 33.

The students are divided in four academic categories:

The country is divided in 24 regions for the Regional Olympiad. In each division except Dhaka, nearly 60 students among 1000 participants are selected for National Olympiad. In Dhaka number of participants is more than 3000 and 100–150 are selected for National Olympiad. All problems in Regional Olympiad are problems to find. Only the answers are necessary.

71 top participants are given prizes in National Olympiad. National Olympiad is currently 2 hours for Primary Category, 3 hours for Junior Category and 4 hours for Secondary and Higher Secondary Category.

From the winners of National Olympiad, a group is selected for National Math Camp.

Every year Bangladeshi students are participating in International Mathematical Olympiad from 2005. Samin Riasat and Nazia Chowdhury won bronze medal for Bangladesh in 2009. Dhananjoy Biswas won first silver medal for Bangladesh in 2012. Here is the full list of medal winners from Bangladesh:
