CMI Admission cutoffs
Historical cutoffs are a guide, not a prediction. Use them to set a realistic target, not to predict next year's exact number.
B.Sc admission (2024)
CMI doesn't publish numeric cutoffs. Selection ~1.5% conversion rate.
| Year | Category | Cutoff |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | B.Sc Math + CS | ~50-60 admitted from ~3,500 applicants |
| 2024 | B.Sc Physics | ~20-30 admitted |
| 2024 | B.Sc Data Science | ~30-40 admitted |

CMI Admission paper analysis — what actually got asked
Topic-by-topic weightage averaged across 2022-2024 papers. Use this to decide where to invest study hours, not where to skim. Source ↗ · verified 2026-05.
Part A (Objective, 5 MCQ × 4 = 20 marks)
16/140 marks avg
Multiple-correct logic / math riddles
~16 marks(11%)
Part B (Short answer, 10 Qs × 4 = 40 marks)
30/140 marks avg
Calculus + Algebra + Discrete Math + Combinatorics
~30 marks(21%)
Part C (Long answer, 5 Qs × 16 = 80 marks)
50/140 marks avg
Proof-style problems, multi-step solutions
~50 marks(36%)
Takeaways for prep planning
- CMI is proof-heavy like ISI but with a different flavour — more emphasis on combinatorial / discrete reasoning, less on continuous math.
- Past papers (last 10 years available on cmi.ac.in) are the single best prep resource.
- JEE Advanced top-1000 path is a back-door for math + CS — but the direct CMI route is open to non-JEE-Advanced candidates with strong Math.
