The IMC features teams composed of four student contestants, one team leader, and one deputy leader. The competition is structured into two main parts: the Individual Contest and the Team Contest. In the Individual Contest, each student works independently to solve a set of challenging problems, and this round determines individual medals — gold, silver, bronze. In the Team Contest, the four students collaborate to tackle a set of problems under time constraints, emphasizing communication and group strategy. While only the Individual Contest determines medalists, overall team rankings and group awards are calculated by combining results from both rounds - specifically, the top three individual scores and the Team Contest score.
