Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sit IVMO on any date, 15th, or 29th November 2025?
No. You can sit on November 15th for Intermediate, Senior, and Open Levels, and sit on November 29th for Lower Primary, Upper Primary, and Junior Levels.
Can I sit any time on the day of my test?
No, you can only sit the test at the time arranged by your IVMO Centre Coordinator.
How long is the Olympiad?
IVMO is one hour long and consists of 40 multiple choice questions.
Which level should I enter?
There are six levels of entry according to your age on the day of the test. Lower Primary (8 years and younger), Upper Primary (11 years and younger), Junior (13 years and younger), Intermediate (16 years and younger), Senior (18 years and younger), and Open (for any age).
Can I enter a level above my age?
Yes. For example, if you are 12 years of age you can enter any IVMO except Primary.
Can I get a list of topics?
Yes, they are available here.
Can I see past papers or sample papers?
Yes, these are available for download here.
How can I learn the Vedic Maths techniques?
Contact your Centre Coordinator who may be able to give lessons. VM learning resources are now available on IAVM shop and Youtube channel.
Can I enter if I do not know any Vedic Maths?
Yes. However, many of the Vedic methods are very quick and so it may be difficult for you to answer all the questions on time.
Do the questions have different marks allocated?
Questions 1 – 25 each carry 2 marks, questions 26 – 35 each carry 3 marks and questions 36 – 40 each carry 4 marks. There are negative marks for incorrect answers for questions 26 – 40 to discourage guessing. The maximum possible score is 100 marks.
Do I need to show working for my answers?
