NEW DELHI: In a remarkable achievement, an impressive 777 students of Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL), the national leader in test preparatory services, have qualified in the prestigious Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics (IOQM), 2025. The selected students will now advance to the next stage of the Olympiad journey, the Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO), scheduled for November 16, 2025.  

RMO is conducted by the regional coordinators under the supervision of Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), Mumbai. The HBCSE regional coordinators review RMO response documents, and the results are submitted to the HBCSE. 

Mr. Chandra Sekhar Garisa Reddy, (MD & CEO), Aakash Educational Services Limited, said, “This is a remarkable performance by our students. We congratulate all the qualifiers for their impressive achievement in IOQM 2025. Their success shows their focus, discipline, and the strong academic foundation they have built at Aakash. We also thank the parents for their faith and encouragement. Best wishes to all the students for the RMO and beyond.”

The International Mathematical Olympiad program is aimed at bringing secondary and higher secondary students with exceptional mathematical ability and passion for the subject from across the world together in a friendly competition of the highest level. India has been participating in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) since 1989, and Indian students have won a large number of medals over the years.

After RMO, selected students will compete in the third stage of the Olympiad, the Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO). After INMO, the students undergo a month-long training camp, i.e. International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp (IMOTC), where problem-solving sessions and several selection tests are held and this year approx. 65 students from all over India will compete against each other. 6 selected students from IMOTC are chosen to represent India at the international level in IMO and are given training in the Pre-Departure Camp (PDC). During the camp, orientation is provided to students for IMO, and emphasis is laid on developing conceptual foundations and problem-solving skills.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
