In 2017, our student Aditya Prakash was one among the six students who represented India in the International Math Olympiad held at Brazil. These are great achievements of students from Mangaluru. .National level exams like Olympiads and JEE help motivate students to strive for better and deeper understanding of scientific facts and data. It helps them to enhance their reasoning, analytical and problem-solving skills. Above all, participating in Olympiad exams and representing one’s state or country at national and international level is a matter of great joy” added Moras.
