Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], September 22: The Integral Cup, India’s premier pan-India Integration Bee Mathematics Competition, concluded its inaugural edition with remarkable success at IIT Bombay from August 28-31, 2025. S Matheshwaran from IIT Madras emerged as the champion of what has now become the world’s largest Integration Bee competition, with Tanmay Budda from IISc Bangalore securing second place and Shobhit Jain from IIT Bhilai claiming third position.
The competition witnessed unprecedented participation with over 3,000 students from 20 premier institutes including IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, IISc Bangalore, and other leading technical institutions across the country. Twenty-one grand finalists, each representing their respective institutes, competed in the final phase after emerging victorious from rigorous campus-level competitions.
The Integral Cup followed a comprehensive three-phase structure designed to identify and nurture exceptional mathematical talent. The first two phases were conducted offline at local hosting institutes, where students competed to become their campus representatives. This systematic approach ensured that only the most capable students progressed to the Grand Finale at IIT Bombay, creating an intensely competitive yet fair selection process.
The competition focused exclusively on integration problems, testing participants’ mastery of one of mathematics’ most fundamental concepts while promoting deeper engagement with analytical problem-solving skills.
Top performers were awarded prizes worth ₹19 lakhs, reflecting the competition’s commitment to recognizing mathematical excellence. All grand finalists received comprehensive support including fully-funded flights, local transportation, accommodation, and catering, ensuring that financial constraints did not limit participation for deserving candidates.
