    In case of any difficulty, please send an email to support@blueshiftindia.com. Remember to mention your CMIUG/CMIPG ID in your message.

    Note: Admit cards have been automatically generated for all students who have registered online and paid the application fee. If you have separately received confirmation from the CMI Admissions Committee that you are exempted from writing the exam, please ignore the admit card.

Entrance examination details

The entrance examinations on Friday, May 25, 2012, are scheduled as follows:

Morning session, 09:30-12:30    BSc (common exam for
  BSc (Hons) Mathematics and Computer Science,
  BSc (Hons) Mathematics and Physics)
 
Afternoon session, 14:00-17:00    MSc/PhD Mathematics
MSc/PhD Computer Science
MSc Applications of Mathematics
PhD Physics

Applications to multiple programmes

  • There is a common entrance examination for the MSc and PhD programmes in Mathematics. Similarly, there is a common entrance examination for the MSc and PhD programmes in Computer Science.

  • The entrance examination for MSc/PhD in Mathematics is at the same time as the examinations for MSc in Applications of Mathematics and MSc/PhD in Computer Science.

    If you have applied for multiple programmes amongst these, the entrance exam you have to write depends on which combination of courses you have applied for:

    • If you have applied for MSc/PhD in Mathematics in combination with any other course, you must write the exam for MSc/PhD in Mathematics.
    • If you have not applied for MSc/PhD in Mathematics but you have applied for MSc in Applications of Mathematics in combination with MSc/PhD in Computer Science, you must write the exam for MSc in Applications of Mathematics.
    • Therefore, the only candidates who will write the exam for MSc/PhD in Computer Science are those who have applied for this programme but not for any other programme.
    • Based on your performance in the exam you write, you will be called for an interview to finalise your admission in the other courses that you apply for.

Academic programmes offered at CMI

Note: From 2012, the B.Sc. (Hons.) Physics programme is restructured as an integrated B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics and Physics. There will be a common entrance examination for the two B.Sc. (Hons.) programmes. You need not select your course at the time of applying. The choice can be made after admission.

  • B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics and Computer Science (3 year integrated course).
  • B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics and Physics (3 year integrated course).
  • M.Sc. in Mathematics.
  • M.Sc. in Applications of Mathematics.
  • M.Sc. in Computer Science.
  • Ph.D. in Mathematics.
  • Ph.D. in Computer Science.
  • Ph.D. in Physics.

Eligibility for Admission

  • B.Sc. (Hons.) Mathematics and Computer Science:    12th standard or equivalent.
  • B.Sc. (Hons.) Mathematics and Physics:    12th standard or equivalent.
  • M.Sc. in Mathematics:    B.Sc.(Math)/B.Math/B.Stat/B.E./B.Tech.

How to Apply

When applications are open, forms may be obtained online or in person. For all the programmes, applicants will have to take an entrance examination, typically held towards the end of May at centres throughout the country. In addition, selection for all Ph.D. programmes, as well as the M.Sc. programmes in Mathematics and Applications of Mathematics, will involve an interview at Chennai. In 2012, the entrance examination centres were as follows: Ahmedabad, Allahabad, Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Calicut, Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Imphal, Kolkata, Madurai, Mumbai, Patna, Pune, Ranchi, Shillong, Srinagar and Trivandrum.

In addition, selection for all Ph.D. programmes, as well as the M.Sc. programmes in Mathematics and Applications of Mathematics, involves an interview at Chennai.

All students receive handsome scholarships that meet all expenses. B.Sc. (Hons.) students receive a scholarship of Rs. 4000 per month, M.Sc. students receive a scholarship of Rs. 5000 per month and Ph.D. scholarships start at Rs. 16000 per month. Students of B.Sc. (Hons.) also receive an additional monthly scholarship of Rs. 1000, made possible through generous private donations.
