WHAT IS THE INTEGRAL
CUP EXAMINATION?
Registration Open
A Grand Prix for the Mathematical Mind
The Integral Cup is structured as a two-season championship, each season featuring three progressive rounds designed to test different aspects of mathematical excellence. Think of it as Formula 1 for mathematics multiple races (tracks), increasing complexity, and a thrilling grand finale.
Structure
Season 2 will unfold across three escalating rounds of elimination. Round 1 will be an offline preliminary examination conducted at 50+ centers nationwide. Round 2 will bring the top 500 participants into an online olympiad. Round 3 will culminate in a two-day Grand Finale for the top 40 finalists, blending speed, creativity, proof depth, and mathematical communication.
