1 The Chennai Mathematical Institute
Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI), a university under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956, is
recognized both within the country and abroad as one of the important centres in India for
research and teaching in mathematical sciences. CMI is set up under a Trust and is managed
by a Governing Council made up of eminent academic personalities. The teaching programmes
are overseen by the Academic Council, consisting of senior faculty from CMI and other leading
institutions across India. The members of the Governing Council and Academic Council are
listed at the end of this brochure.

Research at CMI
The Institute is headed by Professor Madhavan Mukund, a well known computer scientist. CMI
was founded in 1989 by Professor C. S. Seshadri, f.r.s.. The Institute has a talented group of
faculty members who have strong academic ties with reputed institutions in India and abroad.
The Institute also attracts a regular stream of academic visitors, both from India and from
abroad.
The main areas of research in Mathematics pursued at the Institute are algebra, analysis, dif-
ferential equations, geometry, probability, statistics, topology, number theory and differential
geometry. In Computer Science, the main areas of research are formal methods in the speci-
fication and verification of software systems, design and analysis of algorithms, computational
complexity theory and computer security. In Physics, research is being carried out mainly in
gravitation, quantum field theory, string theory and mathematical physics.
The Institute has well-established Ph.D. Programmes in Mathematics, Computer Science, and
Physics.

Teaching at CMI
The aim of the Institute is to pursue excellence in both research and teaching. It is recognized all
over the world that academic excellence is best cultivated by enabling the interaction between
high quality researchers and talented students. In India, research institutions had traditionally
been set up outside the university system. As a result, the wealth of scholarship and teach-
ing talent available in these institutions could not be tapped by students in our colleges and
universities.
With this in mind, CMI initiated, in 1998, a 3-year programme in Mathematics and Computer
Science leading to a B.Sc. (Honours) degree, with the aim of training a select group of talented
students for academic and professional careers requiring exceptional mathematical and com-
putational skills. In 2001, the teaching programme at CMI was extended to include separate
2-year M.Sc. programmes. The Institute currently has two B.Sc. (Honours) programmes: Math-
ematics and Computer Science, and Mathematics and Physics, and three M.Sc. programmes:
Mathematics, Computer Science, and Data Science.
CMI directly awards its B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. In December 2006, CMI was recognized
as a university under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956. In the initial years, the degrees were
awarded by the Madhya Pradesh Bhoj (Open) University (MPBOU), Bhopal.

The Curriculum and the Teaching Faculty

The teaching curriculum is perhaps the best that is available in the country at the undergraduate
and postgraduate levels.

1
All B.Sc. (Honours) students undergo the same core set of basic and advanced undergraduate
courses in Mathematics. In addition, the B.Sc. (Honours) Mathematics and Computer Science
programme also includes a number of courses on fundamental topics in Computer Science.
Students in the B.Sc. (Honours) Mathematics and Physics programme undergo, instead, basic
undergraduate courses oriented towards theoretical Physics. All these courses are taught by
active researchers in mathematics, computer science and physics, who draw on their professional
expertise to offer new insights into the subject matter.
The M.Sc. curriculum takes students into more advanced topics in Mathematics, Computer
Science and Data Science. The course structure is flexible and designed so that students can
lay a firm foundation for pursuing further research while also acquiring advanced skills that will
enhance their effectiveness in professional careers.
All students at CMI have access to a well-equipped computer laboratory and a high-speed Inter-
net connection available through a campus-wide wireless network, and are strongly encouraged
to acquire computer related skills as part of their education.
The B.Sc. (Honours) programmes consist of six semesters of study over three years. The M.Sc.
programmes consist of four semesters of study over two years. Each year, the first semester
runs from August to November and the second semester runs from January to April.
The courses are taught by the faculty of CMI, as well as a distinguished set of adjunct faculty
members. CMI also regularly offers courses by industry experts and visiting scientists from
leading academic institutions in India and abroad.

Humanities
The undergraduate programme includes two compulsory Humanities courses. Electives are
offered in areas such as literature, economics, foreign languages, art and music. The CMI Arts
Initiative organizes regular cultural programmes and seminars throughout the year and supports
an international writers’ residency in collaboration with Sangam House, Bangalore.

Exchange Programmes

Chennai Mathematical Institute has a formal agreement with the École Normale Supérieure in
Paris, France, one of the leading institutions in the world for teaching and research in Mathe-
matics, for regular exchanges of visits by faculty and students.
The Institute has also had a formal agreement with the École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay
in Saclay, France, for exchange of B.Sc. and M.Sc. students and for a joint Ph.D. programme.
CMI is a partner institution in the Future Research Talent Awards programme of the Australian
National University (ANU) in Canberra that provides research internships for B.Sc. and M.Sc.
students from CMI at ANU.
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.
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.

2
Placement
Students from CMI have gone on to pursue further studies at the best academic institutions
in India and abroad. These include Berkeley, Caltech, Chicago, Cornell, Harvard, MIT, Penn,
Princeton, Stanford and Yale in USA, ENS-Paris, Univ Paris-Sud and Univ Bordeaux in France,
the Max Planck Institutes and Humboldt University in Germany and IITs, IISc, IMSc, ISI and
TIFR in India. Several CMI alumni are now faculty members at leading academic institutions
in India, including IISc, IISERs, IITs, IMSc, ISI, IIITs and TIFR, not to mention CMI itself.
Students from CMI are also much sought after by industry across a variety of sectors, including
software development, semiconductors, investment banking, analytics and healthcare. CMI’s
campus placement programme has an excellent track record. Typically, all students seeking
jobs through campus placement are placed, with average pay packages exceeding Rs 20 lakh
per year in 2023. More details are available at https://www.cmi.ac.in/~placement/
Several CMI alumni have also founded startups in India and abroad.

External engagement
CMI has set up a separate society called Algolabs to promote interaction with the industry.
Algolabs undertakes training programmes and projects in areas such as analytics, optimiza-
tion and risk management and provides opportunities for faculty and students to engage with
industry on real-life applications of mathematical sciences.
CMI also engages with the government on projects related to data-driven decision making. CMI
has signed an agreement to partner with the Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency in such efforts.
In December 2020, CMI announced the creation of the Dr F C Kohli Centre of Excellence.
The Centre will promote foundational research through an active visitors’ programme and also
engage actively with industry to address challenging problems in applied areas.

Campus and Hostel Facility

The Institute’s campus is located in the SIPCOT Information Technology Park in Siruseri, on
the outskirts of Chennai. In 2022, CMI acquired land for a second campus to host the activities
of the F C Kolhi Centre.
CMI’s programme is fully residential for B.Sc. students and students of M.Sc. Mathematics
and Computer Science. Students are accommodated in the hostel on campus. The Institute
has a regular transportation arrangement for students to visit the city for shopping and other
activities.
Students pay hostel and mess fees at the start of each semester. Currently, the charges are
Rs. 31,310 per semester, (Rs. 4,000, Rs. 23,310 Rs. 4,000 towards hostel fees, mess and estab-
lishment charges respectively). These charges are adjusted periodically to account for inflation.

Funding
One of the unique features of CMI in the Indian context is that its funding comes from diverse
sources, both public and private. This has given the Institute the freedom to organize its
activities in a manner that is best suited to achieving its goal of excellence in research and
teaching.
The Institute receives substantial support for its activities from the Department of Atomic
Energy (DAE), through the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM). In the past, the

3
Institute has also received major grants from the Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences (BRNS)
and the Department of Science and Technology (DST).
The Institute also receives generous contributions from the private sector. During the formative
years of the Institute, the Southern Petrochemical Industries Corporation (SPIC) was a major
source of funding and infrastructural support for CMI. Currently, the Shriram Group Compa-
nies, Chennai play a crucial role in providing and organizing private funding for the Institute.
CMI also receives substantial support towards scholarships from the Cognizant Foundation and
Trumpf Metamation.
The land for CMI’s primary campus at Siruseri was acquired through a grant from the Shriram
Group Companies. Major financial contributions towards building up the campus have come
from Matrix Laboratories, Hyderabad, the Chennai Willingdon Corporate Foundation, Take
Solutions, Chennai, the Infosys Foundation, Bangalore and Tata Consultancy Services. A mul-
tistorey building with classrooms, faculty office space and guest rooms has been constructed
with funds from the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) via the University
Grants Commission (UGC). Construction of the new campus is expected to be funded through
private contributions.
The Institute also received a generous three year grant from Tata Consultancy Services from
2008–2011 to support academic activities. The Infosys Foundation contributed a large corpus to
