In a span of five years several international mentees of AMMOC have received full scholarships and admissions at the top universities.
As an ethical policy, we only feature students from the AMMOC “protégé” category—those whose mathematical and scientific foundations and early academic careers were profoundly cultivated and advanced by AMMOC. These students participated in intensive, multiyear seminars meeting for three to four hours daily. In addition to mastering the rigorous IMO curriculum, they completed a substantial body of directed readings across undergraduate and graduate-level courses. This implicitly implies that there were pupils at AMMOC who would have succeeded even without AMMOC, and we believe it is not right to categorize them as “proteges of AMMOC. “And for the same policy, we do not even ask them to write a review about the program. To be eligible for writing review, a pupil must be a part of intensive multiyear programs (at least two years) where seminars happen every day and with a minimum of 22 classes a month.

IMO awardee Konstantinos Charalampous is a current student at UChicago.
Adelina Patlatii, a three-time EGMO awardee, is now a junior at UToronto.
Nihad Hashimov is a current student on a full scholarship for a major in pure math. Prasanna Pawar is an incoming student.
International (Asian and European) mentees of AMMOC
- Sarthak Dattatray Dhobale is a rising sophomore at Princeton University for the class of 2029, where he has received a full scholarship to study UG in pure mathematics. He is the first Indian protégé of AMMOC, who was recruited in October 2020. He did research projects on topics such as category theory, groups, rings, fields, linear algebra, matrix groups as manifolds, Abel’s impossibility theorem, and analysis on manifolds. He typed his research work, spanning over 200 pages, in LaTeX. To know his journey at AMMOC, please read his academic website. He is currently taking advanced courses in the fields of differential geometry.
- Tisya Chandrashekhar Rawat, 18, is a rising senior at California Institute of Technology (Caltech), class of 2027, majoring in mathematics. She received a full scholarship from Caltech. To know her journey at AMMOC, please read her academic website. She is receiving her necessary training at Caltech for research in Geometric Analysis and Differential Geometry under the supervision of Dr. Ricardo Caniato.
- Konstantinos Charalampous is a rising senior at the University of Chicago, class of 2027, for undergraduate studies in mathematics. He received a full scholarship as an international applicant. A citizen of Cyprus, he won Honourable Mention in the most prestigious of all mathematical contests—the IMO. He is currently doing his REU at the University of Chicago.
- Adelina Patlatii, 19, a Moldovan citizen, is currently doing her undergraduate studies in mathematics and computer science at the University of Toronto, class of 2026. She received the University of Toronto International Scholar Award.
- Nihad Hashimov is a rising sophomore at KAIST, South Korea, for the class of 2029. He has received a full scholarship for his UG in pure math. He was admitted to AMMOC under the accelerated program for talented but economically disadvantaged students.
- Prasanna Pawar is an incoming freshman at KAIST for a major in pure mathematics (class of 2030), and he has received a full scholarship for the same. He was the most average student ever admitted at AMMOC; however, due to a sheer amount of strategic and guided hard work on the right material for the past five years, he emerged as one of the most scholarly pupils in our program. His directed study of a graduate-level algebra course: The theory of groups, rings, modules, fields, and Galois theory culminated in a 180-page typed report, which was independently examined (orally as well as written) by two other professional mathematicians.
American mentees of AMMOC
Until 2023, we considered American students for competitions exclusively. However, starting in 2025, we updated our policy and no longer admit American students solely for competition participation. This change reflects the current AMMOC curriculum, which now mandates at least 50 percent coverage of undergraduate pure mathematics courses in addition to comprehensive preparation for the AMC, AIME, and USAMO. The following results are precisely for the old category of students from the USA.
- Riya Shah was a student of AMMOC only for the successful preparation of mathematical competitions, including AMC, and she is an incoming student majoring in economics at Princeton, class of 2030.
- Ishika Ganny was a student at AMMOC, where she successfully prepared for the AMC, AIME, and other premier contests. She was admitted to the EECS programs of UC Berkeley, CMU, UIUC, Georgia Tech, Purdue, CU Boulder, and USC, among others.
- In the regular decision, March 2024, Sathya Raghunathan, an AMMOC student who prepared successfully for FERMAT, CSMC, AMC, and AIME under the teaching of Yaashaa Golovanov since May 2022, has received admissions from SUNY Stonybrook and CUNY and an admission offer with a 50 percent scholarship from premier Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for a major in CS.
- In an early decision, in December 2023, mentee Srabon Nath received an admission offer with a full scholarship in the early decision from Columbia University in New York. He will join Columbia for the class of 2028 and will major in computer science and applied mathematics in 2024.
