CMI, B.Sc Honors

Remarks

I could not find anything negative about this Institute. All the points which I remember about this Institute are positive like students, faculties, academic and non academic staff all are like one single family and lives very friendly with each other.

Course Curriculum Overview

The total focus is given on Research. Since this is one of the prominent institutions for Research, trust vhf finally the main focus is Research in Mathematics, Computer Science, Data Science and Physics (According to the course one chooses).

Placement Experience

Placement are much better than any other college. Even being a research college, it has much better placements even for Corporate Jobs for those who wants to go for such jobs. CMI also provides Internships. To apply for internships, one has to write a letter and request CMI for that. Complete details can be found on it's own website.

College Events

4.5

The main annual event is 'Tessellate'. It is held by the students and the research scholars at CMI. One of the main sub event of this fest is STEMS. STEMS basically is an online exam which is conducted during the event and the top 50 scores in that exams are invited for 3 days fully sponsored camp at CMI and are exposed to Mathematical Research.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee structure is very feasible. The annual fee for Bachelor courses is 2, 00, 000 per annum (excluding hostel and mess charges). However the students who qualify for admission to CMI but are unable to pay the fee are given a scholarship on their financial background.

Fees and Financial Aid

The best Scholarship which college offers is Shriram Scholarship which is given to some top scorers in the Entrance exam. This Scholarship includes full waiver of tuition fee and a monthly stipend of Rs.5000.

Campus Life

There are extracurricular activities in the Institute but very very less than the other institutes like NITs/IITs, etc. The main event/fest that is held annually is 'TESSELATE' If we talk about gender, then I would say that if there is a place where actual/ real gender equality can be found then it cannot be anything other than CMI.

Alumni/Alumna

Seniors and alumni are very friendly. They don't treat their juniors like juniors but as a friend. Also, Most of the students are there who talk with each other for a very long time and don't even know each other's batches (Seniors are too friendly)

Admission

I have got admission into CMI and currently pursuing Bachelor's in Mathematics. Research is the most interesting thing which made me to choose this college over an another Institute i.e. IIIT Allahabad.

Faculty

All the faculties are extremely talented in their own field. All the faculties are either Mathematicians or Computer Scientists or Data Scientists or Physicists. If we talk about studies in Mathematics, then all the respective faculties are Mathematicians. However there are some Statisticians also.

HIMT COLLEGE REVIEW

Likes

The faculties are very well experienced and there are captains who stay in the campus itself, so if there’s something we need they will be available all the time
The facilitieslike labs, ship in campus, DB tank facilities etc are top notch
The classrooms are fully air conditioned. There’s smart board. Overall everything is really good and also neat and clean

Dislikes

Galley food can improve a little and canteen is comparatively small for such a big campus
They are not conducting intra- college events and inter-college events is very less

Placement Experience:

Placements are really good in HIMT. I got placed in 1st year itself in MOLMI. All faculties try their best to prepare us for the placements and it shows in the placement interview also. Usually companies come for placements from 2nd year but there are some companies who want to take girl cadets 1st year itself. MOLMI, MOLTA etc came to our college for placements. After completion of the course, company will call for induction and accordingly they will call for joining the ship. For finishing the cadet ship , we have finish 12 months of sea time. After that a lot courses has to be done for appearing in 2 nd mates exam.

THE IDEAL COLLEGE LIFE!

Likes

The opportunities to meet new people and interact with a whole new circle of people by Club Activities as there are quite a lot of clubs according to the student's interest.
Many places to showcase our singing and dancing talent once we join the club or take part in any of the department events.
They have multiple labs for a single department so that the students get a lot of hands on training for coding and as well as hardware.

Dislikes

4:3 Ratio of Girls to Boys in my class and i hope it's the same for all the departments as well.
The college timing can go from 8:30 AM to 5:10PM.
The 75% attendance is kind of doable and maintainable to an extent.

Placement Experience:

about 70 to 80 percent of the students get placed afdter the colleg and the ones not placed also gets placed after the college with high network and communication from other contacts within the college, ZOHO Corp does take placements and i am preparing for my CAT exams as i am planning for My highers at IIM, 5th semester is when the students become eligible for the campus placements and the seniors are a good connection who help to get places and get a job after the completion of degree.

cmi is amazing!

I studied at IIIT-H last year before dropping out and joining here. I joined IIIT-H because it is also a research focused institute and I hoped to do more maths. The very intense computer science workload shooed me away. I also applied to BITS goa and got in for the physics programme. I chose Chennai Mathematical Institute over that because it has a far better curicullum. Admission process of CMI: If you are selected for any olympiad camps, you are directly admitted to CMI. The college conducts a test aroun mid-may. The test has two parts: objective and subjective. part A is mostly a screening test and whoever passes the cutoff for part A has their part B paper checked. You're admitted purely based on your performance on the test. If you did get an admission letter, you are also required to pass 12th grade or its equivalent. The cutoffs for the 2024 entry test are : 58/120(General Category and Males) 47/120(other categories) : With Scholarship Wthout Scholarship : 47/120, 39/120...Read More
