India achieved a remarkable milestone by securing the 7th position at the 66th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) held in Sunshine Coast, Australia. The Indian team, comprising six contestants, won three Gold Medals, two Silver Medals, and one Bronze Medal. This year, the team also set a new record with the country's highest-ever cumulative score of 193 out of a maximum of 252.
According to official information released by the Homi Bhabha Centre for
Science Education (HBCSE), this is only the second time India has won three gold medals at the IMO — the first being in 1988. In 2024, India made history by achieving its best-ever rank of 4th, winning four gold medals. Between 2019 and 2025, Indian students have won a total of 12 gold medals, including nine in the last three years alone (2023, 2024, and 2025). The country has secured its place in the top 10 seven times in 35 appearances at the IMO since its debut in 1989.
