IMC 2026 is under way in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria (27 July – 3 August 2026).
The competition is running right now. Problems, individual results and the difficulty statistics appear on this page as the organisers publish them — there is nothing to show for a part of the competition that has not happened yet.
Day 1 was contested on 29 July 2026.
What is on this page so far
- Day 1 problems — 5 problems published
- Day 2 problems — not published here yet
- Individual results — published
- Difficulty statistics — computed from the published scores
This is what this site has, not what the organisers have — we republish from imc-math.org.uk and there is a lag. Meanwhile: the archive of earlier editions.
Bringing a group? See everyone by university → — every contestant grouped by the affiliation printed beside their name, each group with its roster and per-problem breakdown in one place. Our grouping, not an IMC team classification.
Total score distribution
Projected diploma cut-offs
If prizes were awarded on today’s standings, and each band went to the same share of the field as in the last 10 editions, the cut-offs would fall here. This is arithmetic on partial results, not a forecast — day 2 reshuffles the order.
| band | top % of field | cut-off | at or above |
|---|---|---|---|
| GF | 1.5% | 37 | 7 |
| I | 22.8% | 25 | 102 |
| II | 44.0% | 20 | 194 |
| III | 64.8% | 12 | 289 |
| HM | 84.1% | 8 | 372 |
The shares are medians over the 10 most recent editions that published prizes (2016–2025) — e.g. First: top 22.8% of the field. Ties resolve downward: where the boundary falls inside a group of contestants on the same total, that whole group takes the lower band rather than being split, so a band can come out smaller than its historical share — “at or above” is how many the cut-off actually covers. With totals out of 50 and large groups sitting on each score, that gap is wide. Grand Grand First is not projected at all: it has taken a median 0.18% of the field, under one contestant, and none was awarded in four of those 10 editions.
