Kohima: Lima Aier Higher Secondary School grabbed the top spot at the Inter-School Math Quiz 2026.

Students Sagarika Roy and Imnasenla Ozukum took home a trophy, certificates, and 30,000 rupees.
Forty-four students from 22 schools battled it out. They started with a preliminary round that cut the field down to 16 teams. The competition narrowed until the final round locked in the winners. Densati Jamir and Tiati Jamir of the host school, Little Star Higher Secondary School, finished as runners-up. They earned 20,000 rupees, a trophy, and certificates.
Teisovi Gerard Meyase, a professor from Kohima Science College, served as the guest of honour. He pushed the kids to sharpen their minds despite the rise of automated answers. He told the students, "Not knowing the answer is not the failure; not trying is the failure."
