The Unicus Global Mathematics Olympiad (UGMO) is an international online Maths Olympiad for students from KG to Class 10. Held every winter, it tests what students have learnt in their current class, checking numerical skills, problem-solving and logical reasoning through MCQs in two sections: a Classic Section on the practical applications of Mathematics and a Scholar Section on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Students of Classes 2 to 10 are ranked on the criteria below: accuracy comes first, and a tie on marks goes to the student who finished faster, then to the younger student.

As UGMO for Grades KG and 1 are a stepping stone to further competitive exams for the little stars, we are keeping this exam parent/teacher assisted where they can guide the child in understanding the question based on which the child can answer it. Since it is a parent/teacher assisted exam, there would be no ranks given to the children. Although, the students who achieve more than 60% in the exam will receive a Certificate of Excellence + Medal delivered to his/her home/school address. Also, all the students will get a digital Certificate of Participation, which can be downloaded from the Results section on the dashboard.
