The competition is intended for undergraduate students, preferably from STEM disciplines, of universities and colleges in the respective regions. Participants must be 23 years of age or younger at the time of the International Mathematics Competition (IMC) in July 2027. There is no minimum age limit.

Pathway to IMC 2027

All participants of the 17th National Undergraduate Mathematics Olympiad 2026 will receive a T-shirt and a certificate. The winners will receive a crest and a certificate. In addition, the top 10 contestants in the final round will receive attractive cash prizes. The top 3 contestants from Bangladesh will have the opportunity to participate in the International Mathematics Competition (IMC) for University Students 2027. To ensure their participation, the A. F. Mujibur Rahman Foundation will provide financial support, while the Bangladesh Mathematical Society will provide overall support and coordination.
