The competition is divided into undergraduate and specialist groups. All college students can participate in the undergraduate group competition, and junior college students (higher vocational and junior college students) can participate in the specialist group competition. The members of each team must come from the same school. Graduate students can't attend.

Scale and data

The national mathematical modeling competition for college students is one of the largest extracurricular scientific and technological activities in colleges and universities in China. The competition is held in September every year (usually from Friday to next Monday on a weekend in the first half of the year ***3 days and 72 hours). The contest is open to college students all over the country, regardless of major (but the contest is divided into undergraduate group and specialist group, and all college students can participate in the undergraduate group competition.

The junior college competition can only be attended by junior college students (including higher vocational and junior college students). Students can consult the academic affairs department of the school, and if necessary, they can directly contact the organizing committee of the national competition or the organizing committees of the provinces (cities, autonomous regions).

The National Mathematical Modeling Competition for College Students was founded in 1992 and held once a year. It has become the largest basic subject competition in domestic universities and the largest mathematical modeling competition in the world.

In 20 14, 1338 universities and 25,347 teams from 33 provinces/cities/autonomous regions (including Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions), Singapore and the United States signed up for this competition, including 22,233 teams in undergraduate group and 314 teams in specialist group.
