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.

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.
