Approximately how many students take up the CMI entrance every year ? Out of that, how many get selected?

Question

I am trying to understand this college-related question properly before making a decision: Approximately how many students take up the CMI entrance every year ? Out of that, how many get selected?

Please share the admission process, preparation strategy, eligibility details, and any mistakes that applicants commonly make. Real student guidance would be more useful than generic brochure information.

Vidhi Mitra · Answer

Start with the official syllabus and past papers. That alone saves a lot of wasted effort because most students prepare broadly instead of preparing for the actual pattern.

That is where the difference between image and reality usually shows up.

I would split the work into three parts:
- concept building
- timed practice
- revision from mistakes
That structure is usually more useful than endlessly jumping between resources.

Talking to one current student and one recent alumnus usually clears this up faster than reading ten random comments.

Tanya Sarkar · Answer

For eligibility, trust the latest brochure before anything else. Old forum answers become risky very quickly when even a small rule changes.

That is the part I would double-check before taking any strong opinion seriously.

If the entrance is concept-heavy, understanding matters more than speed in the beginning. Once the basics are solid, then timing becomes easier to improve.
