The application for PROMYS India 2025 is open

A challenging six-week residential mathematics summer programme, PROMYS India is open to mathematically talented secondary and higher secondary students (Standards IX – XII or equivalent). Meticulously selected students from across India will gather on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru to immerse themselves in rigorous mathematics.

PROMYS India is closely modelled on its parent programme, Program in Mathematics for Young Scientists (PROMYS) which has been running at Boston University in the United States since 1989.

PROMYS India 2025 The application for PROMYS India 2025 is now open!

The programme will run from 11 May to 21 June 2025. Exceptionally talented groups of students and counsellors gathered for six weeks of exciting mathematics on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru for PROMYS India 2023 and PROMYS India 2024. We are now looking forward to PROMYS India 2025.

Full Scholarships: All students accepted to PROMYS India 2025 will receive a full scholarship covering all tuition, hostel, and meals. In addition, applicants can apply for need-based funds for travel and laundry expenses.

Eligibility

* Applicants must attend secondary or higher secondary school in India in Standards IX – XII (or +1, +2, or PUC). Students must have completed (or currently be in) Standard IX before the start of the programme. Students are still eligible to apply if they are just completing their final year of higher secondary school (or taking a gap year) but have not yet begun their university studies.

* Students attending government-funded schools, government aided private schools, unaided private or independent schools, sixth form colleges, home schools, and other types of secondary or higher secondary schools in India are all eligible to apply.

* Applicants must be at least 15 years old by 11 May 2025. (We do not anticipate that any exceptions will be made, but students who are very close to 15 can apply if they wish.) Most students will be older than 15. Students are no longer eligible if they will be 19 or older at the start of the programme.

* Students who are already attending university are NOT eligible to be first-year students (though they may be eligible to apply to be undergraduate counsellors).

* Lectures, discussions, and problem sets at PROMYS India are all in English. Applicants should possess English language skills sufficient to enable full participation.

* There are no financial requirements of any sort for eligibility or participation in PROMYS India. Every student who is accepted to PROMYS India 2025 will automatically be awarded a full scholarship which will cover all tuition, housing and meal costs for the six weeks of the programme. Applicants may apply for additional need-based funding for travel and laundry. There are no required books.

Please note that students may not apply to PROMYS India and to PROMYS at Boston University in the U.S. for the same summer. They may apply to only one. Please also note that while students at PROMYS India 2025 will all be awarded full scholarships, PROMYS in the U.S. is not free. Students who would need financial assistance to attend PROMYS Boston are expected to apply instead to PROMYS India.

Both PROMYS and PROMYS India being highly selective, students in India will have a higher chance of being admitted if they apply to PROMYS India rather than PROMYS.

The deadline for receipt of all application materials is 15th January, 2025 (11:59 PM IST)
