Frequently Asked Questions
Who can apply to be a Centre Coordinator?
Do I have to pay a fee to be a Centre Coordinator?
How do I register?
What happens after I register?
You will receive a certificate of registration and be given access to your online portal. The portal is used to input the number of entries and for downloads of question and answer papers.
Will my email address be made public?
Is there a fixed time for the Olympiad on November 28th?
No. Centre Coordinators can decide the time based on their time zones and the availability of the participants.
Will the Olympiad be administered offline only?
Yes. IVMO is available in off-line mode only.
What is the process?
Before the event, CCs will receive the question papers and answer sheets in pdf format and will print off enough numbers. Students write their answers on the answer sheet provided. After the event, CCs will upload a pdf scan of students’ answer sheets into the portal and these will be marked using automated software.
What are the rules of conduct?
The papers must be sat under exam conditions with invigilation. Students may use unruled paper for rough workings and should answer the questions using an HB pencil. Erasers are allowed. Students are not allowed electronic devices, including watches, or any measuring or drawing instruments.
Can I get a list of topics?
Can I see past papers or sample papers?
Solutions for past papers are available here.
How long is the Olympiad?
Do the questions have different marks allocated?
Yes. Questions 1 – 25 each carry 2 marks (with no negative scoring), questions 26 – 35 each carry 3 marks (with -1 scored for incorrect answers) and questions 36 – 40 each carry 4 marks (with -2 scored for incorrect answers). The maximum possible score is 100 marks.
How and when will the results be declared?
Scores will be collated, and full results will be sent to the CCs. In each level the top 30% of scores will be awarded gold, silver, and bronze certificates in the ratio 1: 2: 3. The next 30% will receive a certificate of merit and the remaining 40% receive a participation certificate. The top three internationally will also receive special certificates and will feature on our social media. IAVM aims to publish results by 23rd December, 2026.
Who will send the certificates to the participants?
Due to IVMO being an international event, template copies of certificates in ppt format, together with result lists will be sent to each CC. CC’s will enter the names of winners and complete the certificates. CC’s can decide to send an e-copy or hard copy of the certificates. In addition to local distribution, IAVM will separately issue certificates to the top three entries in each category digitally.
What kind of support is available to the CC’s?
CCs receive a commission of 40% of each entry fee. This can be used to cover the costs of any required printing or other materials. General communication can be made through our IVMO email address at ivmolympiad@gmail.com or the WhatsApp group “IVMO 2026 CCs”. For technical issues we have a system to raise the ticket. Our IT team will be on hand and to respond soon.
