The institute is recognized both within the country and abroad as one of the important centres in India for research and teaching in mathematical sciences.

Intake & Admissions: CMI's undergraduate programs are highly sought-after, with the institute admitting only around 30-40 students every year. Admissions are through the CMI Entrance Test, which tests aptitude for Mathematics at the 12th standard level.

Admission schedule

Application last date: 15 Apr 2024

Date of entrance test: 19 May 2024

Direct admission through Olympiads: Students with exceptionally good performance in the National Olympiads in Mathematics and Physics are exempted from writing the BSc entrance examination.

Scholarships: 30 to 35 scholarships will be available, consisting of a full waiver of the tuition fees for 3 years.

In addition, a limited number of fellowships will be available, with a monthly stipend of Rs. 5,000. After first year, the eligibility of a student to receive stipend will depend on satisfactory academic performance.

Exchange programmes

a) Chennai Mathematical Institute has a formal agreement with the ´Ecole Normale Sup´erieure in Paris, France, one of the leading institutions in the world for teaching and research in Mathematics, for regular exchanges of visits by faculty and students.

b) The Institute has also had a formal agreement with the ´Ecole Normale Sup´erieure Paris-Saclay in Saclay, France, for exchange of B.Sc. and M.Sc. students and for a joint Ph.D. programme.

d) Since 2017, CMI has hosted the international joint research laboratory IRL ReLaX under CNRS, the French National Centre for Scientific Research. ReLaX provides opportunities for exchanges of students and faculty with French partners in computer science and mathematics.

e) For several years, CMI was a partner in the Erasmus Mundus Master Programme ALGANT (ALgebra Geometry And Number Theory), funded by the European Union. The ALGANT programme allows students to pursue Masters and Doctorate degrees across the institutions participating in the programme.

Entrance exams clashing with CMI: Please note that entrance test date of CMI (19 May 2024) clashes with first date of BITSAT (19 - 24 May). So test date for BITSAT may be booked keeping this in mind.

Overall, CMI offers a fantastic opportunity for students with a passion for mathematics and computer science to pursue their interests and achieve academic excellence. Interested candidates are encouraged not to miss out on this fantastic option.
