IOQM 2026 Registration at a Glance

Who Can Register for IOQM 2026?

Confirm eligibility on the official HBCSE/MTA bulletin. Typically:

• Students in Classes 8 to 12
• Registration via individual online link or through a registered IOQM centre

If your school is not a centre, use individual online registration before 25 July.

Step-by-Step: Individual Online Registration

Step 1 — Open the official portal

Go to ioqm.mtai.org.in only. Avoid third-party “registration help” sites that charge extra fees.

Step 2 — Create your account

• Use a working mobile number (OTP verification)
• Use a parent or student email you check daily
• Save login credentials securely

Step 3 — Fill the application form

You will typically need:

• Full name (as per school records)
• Class and date of birth
• School name and address
• Parent/guardian contact details
• Choice of examination city/centre (where available)

Double-check spelling—corrections after submission may not be allowed.

Step 4 — Upload documents

Prepare scanned copies per MTA specifications:

• Recent passport-size photograph (plain background)
• Signature (black ink on white paper, scanned)
• ID proof if requested in the bulletin

File size and format limits are listed on the portal—compress images if needed.

Step 5 — Pay the registration fee

Complete payment in one successful transaction before the deadline. Failed payments still show as incomplete registration.

• Save the payment receipt and application confirmation PDF
• Note your registration / roll number if displayed

Step 6 — Download confirmation

Print or save the confirmation page. You will need details for admit card collection (~15 August 2026).

Registering Through a School/Centre

If your school registered as an IOQM centre (1–26 June 2026 window for centres):

1. Contact your school exam coordinator
2. Submit the centre’s form and fee by 25 July 2026
3. Collect admit card from the centre when released

Centre registration suits students whose schools batch-process olympiad entries.
