- Bronze Medal: Muhammad Ahmad Bhatti from Karachi.
- Honorable Mention: Muhammad Mahad Arif from Lahore.
In addition, these brilliant students showcased their outstanding mathematical abilities on an international stage.
Training and Support: The success of the Pakistani team is backed by the STEM Careers Program. STEM is a joint effort of the Higher Education Commission (HEC) and the Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Science (PIEAS). Moreover, the team received rigorous training at COMSATS University, Lahore Campus, under the expert guidance of Dr. Sarfraz Ahmad and Dr. Hani Shakir.
National Selection Process
PIEAS, under the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), organizes the National Science Talent Contest (NSTC) annually in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics. Top students from these contests are selected and trained for international competitions through the STEM Careers Program.
The achievement of these students not only highlights their hard work but also reflects the potential of Pakistani youth in the field of mathematics. Additionally, this win follows closely on the heels of another success where Pakistani students earned bronze medals at the International Biology Olympiad in Astana, Kazakhstan.
