NIMO Result

Many Olympiads are held by the EduHeal Foundation, each with multiple levels of examination (paper-based exams have three levels, and computer-based exams have two levels). As a result, the results of each level are announced at various times. The results of the EduHeal NIMO exam are normally released two to three weeks after the exam. Students should retain their EduHeal NIMO 2022 admit card and NIMO exam registration information on hand because they will need to submit details, such as enrollment numbers, to access their results.

Tips for NIMO Preparation

The National Interactive Maths Olympiad preparatory recommendations are listed below.

• Getting a decent exam result requires a lot of practice. Only practice accounts for 70% of the NIMO preparation.
• Unlike sample papers, mock tests have a time limit. Students can practice this not only to see how well they understand the curriculum but also to see how quickly they can solve problems.
• Students can talk to their teachers or classmates to get answers to their questions.
• The books that students utilize regularly in school are the best resource for studying. Other materials, such as NCERT books or other reference books recommended by the exam administration, are also available to students.
• Keep review notes in the notebook as students go over a formula or topic.
