Important Notes
CMI follows a semester system. The BSc. programme has six semesters and the
MSc. programme has four semesters. The duration of the odd semester is August
to November and the even semester is from January to April. May, June, July
and December are vacation period.
There are no mid-semester breaks.
All students must report on the reopening day of each semester and
sign in the register kept in the office. Failure to do so, without prior
sanction, will involve cancellation of stipend and tuition fee waiver for
the entire semester.
Registration deadlines will be strictly enforced. No extension will
be permitted.
