Admission:

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
