Introduction Do you want to learn how to get accepted into PROMYS India, what the acceptance rate is, what prior problems (and their mathematical solutions) look like, when you must apply by, and more information galore?

Let's begin!

What is PROMYS India?

Many of you may have heard of PROMYS, an extremely prestigious and selective math summer program for those aspiring for a field in STEM and foster a deep and centric passion for mathematics.

However, what is less known is that PROMYS has another branch within it specifically targeted for student residing in India, ergo the name PROMYS India.

In short, PROMYS India is a rigorous six-week residential summer program that is available to students in Standards/Grades 9-12 and focuses on lectures and team-based problem solving methods hosted by top-level professors teaching highly advanced mathematics.

It will be located on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru, India, which is renowned for being a public research university in the field of STEM.

Being deemed as arguably the greatest institute in India, even higher than the esteemed IIT, PROMYS India can help to not only bolster a student's love for mathematics, but connect them to other professors and resources at a higher standard in the world.

Now of course, like previously stated, PROMYS India is closely modeled after its parent program, the Program in Mathematics for Young Scientists (PROMYS), which has been running at Boston University in the United States since 198

9. But what specifically are the differences between the two?

Well, to list a few comparisons, Like its U.

S. counterpart, PROMYS India emphasizes deep mathematical exploration rather than what is typically offered at elementary level.

In other words, it works to bridge the gap between the boring old crunching of numbers and strong foundational competition math, which is what colleges seek out in students pursuing STEM and Mathematics.

Both programs focus on engaging students in problem-solving, with an emphasis on learning from one another.

However, PROMYS India tailors its content to the Indian context, incorporating culturally relevant examples and challenges.

This may not be noticed as much by people who have lived in India all of their life, but would definitely be perceived by outsiders.

Scholarships for PROMYS India One perk for PROMYS India is that all students accepted into it receive a full scholarship covering tuition, hostel accommodation, and meals.

Compared to the exorbitant $6, 100 fare for tuition alone into PROMYS U.

S.

A, this makes acceptance into PROMYS India considerably more competitive

- but also far sweeter to attain.

Additionally, applicants can apply for need-based funds to cover travel and laundry expenses, as hosted by the partners of the PROMYS India committee, making the overall experience virtually free.

Thus, it is definitely worthwhile to take advantage of PROMYS India if you are accepted.

Acceptance Rate for PROMYS India Although the organization does not reveal the exact acceptance rate into its program, we have our estimates.

Due to there only being about 34 students selected each year, and thousands applying, we forecast it to be a meager <1%.

This means that even though on the application it clearly mentions that a student does not have to be able to solve all of the problems on the application set in order to be accepted. let's be honest.

Here at Rishab Academy, we show things exactly how they are, and strongly believe that you need to be able to solve practically 100% of the problems in order to even have a chance at being selected.

Otherwise, as the application process is holistic, you must make up for the lack of ability to answer the problem set in its entirety with a glowing letter of recommendation from a teacher, a stellar academic track record, and a pathos-infused history in maths that draws the attention of admission counselors throughout the institute.

Rewind for a Second.

A Problem Set???

Yes, you read that correctly.

One of the most crucial facets of the PROMYS India application process is being able to successfully contest the problems presented in the problem set.

This problem set is the exact same as that of PROMYS U.

S.

A, and despite comprising a measly 8 problems that applicants have until February 1st to complete (so 1 month earlier than those in PROMYS U.

S.

A), the problems are extremely difficult and not for the feeble at heart and mind.

Want a specific example?

Let's take a look at the first problem from the PROMYS 2024 Problem Set.

As can be seen, this problem requires a more careful approach than students may be used to dealing with in their school environment.

It can also have many different such approaches that have to be explicitly and lucidly explained by students in their solution, where the process itself through which students come about their answer trumps the significance of the answer itself many times over.

Just for fun, even if you didn't apply for PROMYS this year but are aspiring to do so in the future, I encourage you to attempt the problem above for practice.

Hint: A work-abouts for a solution that I came up with included a little bit of Partial Fraction Decomposition.

You can see from the example itself that: So consequently, Note that "a" and "b" are both positive integers, so try playing around with some values for the variables and see what trends you notice.

Have fun!
