PROMYS India

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 2023

An exceptionally talented group 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.

Dates for PROMYS India 2023: 7 May – 17 June, 2023

All students received a full scholarship covering all costs of participation: tuition, hostel, meals, books, and travel. These full scholarships were thanks to the generosity and vision of PROMYS India's founding sponsors: Nick Nash & Phalgun Raju, Avi and Sandra Nash, Indira Foundation, and Morph.org.

How Students Describe PROMYS

“PROMYS is more than just a summer program - It is an experience that will change your life. The path of discovery that one follows as a student of PROMYS is unique and will change your perception of mathematics. The problem sets showed me that mathematics demands one to make bold conjectures, while also giving substantial emphasis on rigor and proofs. "
Siddharth Sridhar
PROMYS 2017 and 2018
"We're taught to 'Think deeply of simple things', and discover math in our own way. One gets to see how our experience with math is what that matters the most and forms the basis for our proofs. I learnt the importance of making bold conjectures, and the role that long cumbersome yet interesting numerical examples play in it. PROMYS is a place for math lovers."
Arpoitri Ghosal
PROMYS 2018–2021
"The program was collaborative not competitive, which made it unique. Everyone in PROMYS had exceptional mathematical talent and I made a ton of new friends… PROMYS provides unique perspectives and applications you won't find anywhere else."
Devansh Sehta
PROMYS 2017–2021

Our Guiding Principles

Discovery and Exploration
Students at PROMYS India are presented with fundamental mathematical problems for which they have to struggle long and hard to find solutions. The students are given mathematical tools to find solutions for themselves. For the six weeks of PROMYS India, the students are treated as mathematicians.

Habits of Mind
An emphasis on mathematical habits of mind that support independence and creativity in facing unfamiliar mathematical challenges. The skills and habits developed at PROMYS have great value no matter what career participants choose.
Read More
Mathematical Community
A belief that mathematics is a deeply human activity best experienced within a richly interacting and mutually supportive community of learners including secondary school students, undergraduate and graduate students, and research mathematicians.
