INSO is the premier global competition in nuclear science for high school students, organised under the auspices of the International Atomic Agency (IAEA). At the 2026 edition held in Saudi Arabia from 2 to 9 August, TAR UMT’s Chiu Bee Chien successfully clinched a Bronze medal. Competing against 120 top students from 19 countries, Bee Chien represented Malaysia alongside three fellow national team members from Kolej MARA Seremban, Kolej Tuanku Ja'afar, and SMJK Sam Tet. Overall, team Malaysia bagged 1 silver and 3 bronze medals. Syabas!
The Malaysia Nuclear Science Olympiad (MyNSO) is the premier national platform to identify top young minds in nuclear science and radiation physics. Winning this prestigious competition gives students the exclusive honour of representing Malaysia at the prestigious International Nuclear Science Olympiad (INSO).
Chiu Bee Chien successfully progressed through the Curie-1 preliminary screening and advanced to the MyNSO Curie-2 screening, where he attained a Pingat Perak, earning him a spot on the national team representing Malaysia at the International Nuclear Science Olympiad (INSO) 2026 from 2–9 August 2026 in Saudi Arabia.
Schools represented in the Malaysia team:
- Kolej MARA Seremban
- Kolej Tuanku Jaafar
- SMJK Sam Tet
- TAR UMT
All the best to team Malaysia! 🇲🇾
A prestigious national-level mathematics competition organised by the Malaysian Mathematical Sciences Society (PERSAMA) since 1971.
TAR UMT pre-university students put their mathematics skills to the test at the Olimpiad Matematik Kebangsaan (OMK) 2026 on 27 June, competing in the Kategori Sulong (Individual) for Form 5, Form 6, Matriculation, and equivalent levels.
While top honours in this exceptionally tough competition were heavily dominated by Chinese Independent High Schools and matriculation colleges, TAR UMT secured 3 Consolation Prizes (Saguhati)—the highest among non-Chinese Independent High School and non-matriculation pre-university institutions in this category. Taking on this challenge without specialised training right after exams, our students performed admirably and proved to be among the nation's mathematics talents. 👍
