Three doors into the circle. Every one of them is free.

Choose your door with care.

Math Circle India runs on a strictly non-monetary, voluntary footing. It was built for three kinds of people: brilliant students from underprivileged backgrounds, high school scholars seeking advanced competitive training, and elite peer-mentors who want to pass on their olympiad craft.

Apply only through the portal for your own track. Applications sent to the wrong portal, across several tracks, or by informal email are set aside.

An automated filter screens out bots, duplicates, fake profiles and spam. It has no say in academic evaluation. Every genuine application is read by a person.

Underprivileged Scholar

Grades 9 to 12

No screening problem set

The bedrock of our mission: students who lack the means for commercial coaching or advanced resources, and who deserve higher mathematics anyway.

We work with local government and municipal schools to find hidden analytical talent.
Or apply independently: share your background and one reflective essay on why mathematics is your calling.
A kind person may apply on a scholar’s behalf, with the consent of the scholar and their parent or guardian.

Your privacy, guarded.

Most of our cohort are minors, so we keep a strict zero-sharing policy. Everything you send us, from background and financial declarations to academic submissions, is used only by our internal team for selecting cohorts and aligning regional mentoring.

We never sell, lease or pass student information to agencies, commercial coaching institutes or outside databases.
