Which is better IIIT Guwahati or CMI?

Nikita Joshi

06 Jul 21

CMI and IIITG are distinct institutions, so, it will not be fair to compare.

CMI CSE course is theory-oriented whereas, IIITs offers a more practical-based CSE course. CMI is one of India's premier theoretical CSE institutes. The old IITs or IIITs are ideal for engineering or practical applications. Therefore, IITG is not the best for future scope at the large, but this has nothing to do with the institutions as it is a new institute and will take some time to establish itself.

If you want the engineering approach of CSE, IIITG will be better for you. The campus life as IIITG will also be better than CMI. Although CMI is ahead of IIITG in terms of competitive coding. Here is a brief outline of the CSE degree offered by both institutes.

Institute	IIITG	CMI
Median CTC	5.5 LPA	13 LPA
Major recruiters	TCS, Infosys, Byjus	Goldman Sachs, Coriolis Technologies
Course Fee	2.25 lakhs	2 lakhs

If you are unsure, choose CMI over IIITG.

Is mathematics in IISc Bangalore at par with CMI?

Anirban Sarkar

CMI offers a more Mathematics oriented program. For pure Mathematics, it is a better option.

CMI curriculum has Maths/CS, and Maths/Physics options. At IISc first three semesters are common. During these semesters you will be studying Engineering, Material Science, EVS, Humanities, etc.
CMI Maths syllabus is more theory-oriented. You will get to learn abstract concepts. IISc follows a more balanced curriculum. During the first three years, you will need to attend both theory and lab classes.

CMI Maths framework and teaching methodology are more suited for students who are genuinely interested in Mathematics.

Should one choose CMI B.Sc in mathematics and computer science over CSE at BITS, Hyderabad, NIT/IIIT Allahabad , IIEST Shibpur or Jadavpur University?

To choose between any of the two, you need to be clear about your page of interest first. Are you interested in theoretical Computer Science and Mathematics or the technical CS&E offered at engineering colleges?

However, having friends at CMI, I will be able to point out the pros and cons associated with the institution:

Pros:

The biggest advantage you can get here is that you can for Ph.D. immediately after BSc without doing MSc. That’s the reason more than 80% of the whole batch of CMI opts for Ph.D. By this, you can understand the rigor of the course and its focus on research.
If you do not want to go for Ph.D., you can take up higher-level MSc courses in the institute itself if you have completed the pre-requisites.

Cons

Honestly, nobody really knows about CMI in India except the Maths fraternity. Even my friend, who is now an alumnus of CMI, came to know about it only when he was in class 12.
Don’t get surprised when your friends and relatives will go blank when you tell them that you attend CMI.

However, on the other hand, if you go to any of these top engineering colleges and for a CSE program you can definitely get a good placement of 5+ lakhs.
