Integrated Sequential Evaluations
The competition enforces a structured 90-minute testing window containing a maximum score potential of 90 points. To protect competition integrity on a global scale, students must verify that answers are fully final before submitting, as the digital interface locks tracking backward once a section closes. No calculators, external computational tools, or outside aids are permitted at any stage.
Global Benchmarking & Accolades
FMC offers a transparent percentile-ranking system categorized explicitly by grade brackets to guarantee balanced competition. Endorsed by international mathematical promotion boards, earning distinction within the FMC ranks provides solid credentials for premium high school applications and future global STEM pathways.

The Evolution of FMC
The Factorial Math Competition was founded in March 2020 by the Surya Institute for the Promotion of Science (SIPS) with a clear, critical mission: to evaluate, benchmark, and rapidly multiply the mathematical capability of young learners. The competition was intentionally designed to shift youth mindsets away from standard school math formats toward non-routine Olympiad problems that prompt deeper mathematical inquiry and structured spatial logic.
Since its inception, FMC has successfully evolved into a highly anticipated annual event. Moving into its 7th successful iteration, the platform brings together hundreds of participating schools across numerous countries. By organizing an immersive summer camp framework for its final rounds, FMC does not simply test formulas—it builds a lasting global community where tomorrow's scientific leaders can interact, learn, and grow together.
