Contests
edit- MSF Challenge: An annual contest, first held in 2006, to encourage school students to use computers for mathematical problem solving.
- Recognizing Ramanujan: An annual contest, first held in 2019, to encourage school students in adapting to unique thinking ability in mathematical problem solving. This contest also encourages students to get to know about the great Indian Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan.
Akshit Gupta from Delhi Public School Rohini topped the first edition of this contest with 75% marks which was almost 15% more than the next best student in the edition. He till date remains the only student to secure a perfect score in the mathematical problem solving section of the exam.
