CMI is known for its excellence in Mathematics and Computer Science programs. The research group consists of highly skilled professionals and the professors are extremely qualified, with most of them having done their higher educations abroad. The course work is tremendous and even the Math courses in B.Sc. are comparable to M.Sc. courses in other colleges. Admission to this program is through a nationwide entrance with a 3-hour paper, having two parts. The first part is for screening consisting of objective questions. If you clear the cutoff, your second part is checked, which is of subjective questions. The paper is difficult, and comparable to the Regional Mathematics Olympiad level. There is a final interview before selection. The college campus is neat and clean with all facilities. Food is good. The only bad is that people here are too focused on their studies and hardly any social life.
