FAQs

Ques. How should I prepare for the CMI entrance exam to secure a seat in the M.Sc Data Science course?

Ans. CMI Data Science entrance exam is mainly an aptitude based test conducted by the college itself. Topicwise attentive preparation is essential to qualify the exam. The entrance exam is comparatively easy for Maths and Stats background students because they already have a sound and desirable knowledge of Probability, Statistics, Linear Algebra, and other related topics.

Ques. How are the placements of the CMI MSc in Data Science?

Ans. The placement drive usually begins in the middle of the 3rd semester. Almost 90% of the students are placed in top recruiting firms with lucrative salary packages. The average CTC offered is around INR 13.5 LPA. CMI uses a platform called Reculta for all its placement related activities (jobs, internships & industrial projects) and detailed instructions are provided at each step from the placement cell.

Ques. Which would be the best option for post graduation and job prospects: CMI MSc Data Science, or ISI MSQMS?

Ans. ISI MSQMS is focused on quality management and the degree is research oriented. But placements are not that bad as approximately 15 students got placed as Data Scientists in campus placement drive 2020. At CMI the course curriculum is rigorous. Regular assignments, tutorials and quizzes help to build a strong foundation to compete for job interviews. Previous year's placement was nearly 100% and on an average 14 LPA was offered for freshers. So, from a placement perspective CMI stands ahead of ISI MSQMS.

Ques. What will be the cutoff for an M.Sc in Data Science in CMI?

Ans. CMI Data Science entrance is an aptitude based exam and topicwise rigorous preparation is necessary to clear the exam. CMI doesn't disclose any cutoff and it totally depends on your peers’ performance. But from the usual pattern, if the question paper was moderately tough, you can expect a call if you get 60% or more correct. So, for clearing the cutoff you need to get 10–12 questions right. For safety, it would be better if you can solve 15 questions without any mistakes.

Ques. How is the MSc Data Science program at CMI Chennai?

Ans. The MSc Data Science programme offered by CMI intentionally includes, at the early stage, Math and CS basics. Both pedagogy and course content have been experimented with a great deal in the first semester. The job and internship opportunities associated with MSc DS are entirely at par with expected standards. A summer industry internship is a compulsory part of the curriculum, and the internal recruitment for the same has yielded remunerations like INR 80,000 per month, over two or more months, with finance and investment companies.

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

30 Mar 22

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?

Ahaana Kaushik

02 Mar 21

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.
