What is IOQM Normalization 2025-26?

The IOQM normalization 2025-26 will help the authorities to evaluate the papers fairly. As the examination is being conducted in two different sessions, there can be several factors which can negatively affect the score of the students. If the difficulty level and marking of the two sessions differ for any reason, then the raw scores from one session can be an unfair advantage or disadvantage for the students. The IOQM normalization 2025-26 will help the authorities to maintain fairness, so that the candidates are not penalised because of the date they have appeared in the session. The marks scored by the candidates will be adjusted.

IOQM Normalization Process

  • The average score for all the candidates who appeared in the IOQM 2025-26 on September 7, 2025, will be taken as the reference score.

  • The average score for the students who appeared in the exam on September 28, 2025, will be calculated separately.

  • Let us consider the average score for September 7, 2025, is A, and the average score for September 28, 2025, is B, then the scaling factor is A/B.

Where Does IOQM Normalization Apply?

The normalized score of IOQM 2025 will apply to the following certifications:

  • National Certificate

  • Regional Mathematics Olympiad (RMO)

  • Regional Certificates
