While it's unfortunate that China did not take the top spot this year, it was barely defeated by the U.S. team, which is 1/3 Chinese anyway.

However, one pattern that did not change was the pitiful performance of that other "gigacountry", India. Time and time again, India falls flat on its face in any kind of impartially adjudicated international competition. Why is this? Indian blowhards would have us believe that their backwater is home to the world's greatest ubergeniuses. Yet these ubergeniuses rarely seem to come through when it matters. Come on guys, the jig is up. You can't even assemble a more competent math team than tiny Macau.

I am surprised Japan score that low.

 

[extra terrestrial]

Looks like Bangladesh has topped from South Asia....

 

[Beidou2020]

That's what happens when 50% of the Indian population is illiterate. The average Indian is incredibly stupid.

Indian performance in PISA is shameful too.

 

[Metanoia]

Pakistan is at number 85...which is funny because I was 120% confident that we were good at Math.

 

[Jai_Hind]

No worries.... There's always a next time...

Congrats to neighbour Bangladesh for being a constant good scorer in IMO.... Traditionally China has been the best team in IMO....

 

[protest]

I don't think India or Indians take these exams seriously at all unlike Chinese.

 

[The Last of us]

Iran ranked 7th. It's good but I expect us Iranians to be higher! surprised by some of our previous ranking which were somewhat lowish. But not bad.

What is this, International Virgin Olympiad 2015?

 

[ito]

Nobody cares in Inda about international mathematical olympiad or PISA or WISA exams etc...

 

[terranMarine]

ofcourse nobody cares in India due to the low ranking, if India performed as well as USA, China or other top countries Indians will suddenly care.

The Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO) is a high school mathematics competition held annually in India since 1989. It is the second tier in the Indian team selection procedure for the International Mathematical Olympiad and is conducted by the Homi Bhaba Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) under the aegis of the National Board of Higher Mathematics (NBHM).

The qualifying students are invited to the International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp (IMOTC), a one month mathematics camp hosted by the Homi Bhabha Center for Science Education in Mumbai. For first time participants, it usually extends from late April till the end of May, while it begins about 10-14 days later for senior participants. In this camp, the students are taught Olympiad mathematics and some other general mathematics. Four selection tests and two practice tests are held during this period and the top six students in the selection tests qualify to represent India in the International Mathematical Olympiad.

The selected team of 6 students goes through another round of training and orientation for about 10 days prior to departure for IMO.

You expect Iran usually rank higher? I think the 7th spot is already a good result for Iran judging from the record found at
International Mathematical Olympiad

Not at all, I am from IIT, when I was writing IIT exams these Olympiads or PISA exams never crossed my mind. The same thing with my classmates too. Indians will not work hard on things that won't fetch them profits. Good scores in Maths Olympiads will fetch you nothing.

Off course Maths Olympiad are held in India, but they are not popular. Most don't know, even if they know, they will give it a pass.
