The Advanced Training in Mathematics (ATM) Schools in India are specialized programs aimed at providing in-depth training in core mathematical subjects to Ph.D. students, young researchers, and teachers. These schools emphasize learning mathematics through active engagement and problem-solving. Initiated by the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) in 2004 and currently organized under the National Centre for Mathematics (NCM), a joint center of IIT Bombay and TIFR, Mumbai, ATM Schools have become a cornerstone for advanced mathematical education in India.
🔍 Types of ATM Schools

Designed for first-year Ph.D. students, these schools provide foundational training in core mathematical areas.
Advanced Instructional Schools (AIS)
Targeted at second-year and above Ph.D. students, these schools delve into specialized topics such as algebra, topology, and analysis.
National Centre for Mathematics Workshops (NCMW)
Focused on specific research areas, these workshops are intended for researchers and advanced students.
Instructional Schools for Lecturers (ISL)
Aimed at college and university lecturers, these schools enhance teaching methodologies and subject knowledge.
Teacher’s Enrichment Workshops (TEW)
