It is a premier institute in the country that offers world class training and good placement. At times, candidates prefer CMI to the IITs. Its MSc data science course is a combination of math and computing skills. Though engineers were supposed to have good mathematical skills, the focus has now shifted to data and developments in computing in the last 4-5 years. Thus math on its own has come centre stage. The predictive models based on AI/ML across the functions depend on concepts such as probability, linear algebra, and others. Even the field of semiconductors do require math graduates. Many students at CMI pursue PG and doctoral courses. There is post-doctoral research too.
