Candidates applying to the PhD programme in Computer Science at CMI for the academic year starting August 2010 can qualify for the interview on the basis of their performance in the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST-2010) in Theoretical Computer Science, without writing the CMI entrance examination.
If you have written JEST-2010 and wish to apply to the PhD programme in Computer Science at CMI, you should fill out the CMI application form in full detail. If you qualify directly for the interview based on your performance JEST-2010, you will receive a notification from us. If you do not hear from us, you must write the CMI entrance examination in order to qualify.

Morning session, 09:30-12:30		BSc Mathematics and Computer Science
		MSc/PhD Mathematics
Afternoon session, 14:00-17:00		BSc Physics
		MSc/PhD Computer Science
		MSc Applications of Mathematics

There is a common entrance examination for the MSc and PhD programmes in Mathematics. Similarly, there is a common entrance examination for the MSc and PhD programmes in Computer Science.
The entrance examination for MSc/PhD in Computer Science is at the same time as the examination for MSc in Applications of Mathematics. If you wish to apply for both these programmes, you should fill out both forms but you should write the exam for MSc in Applications of Mathematics. Based on your performance in that exam, you will be called for an interview to finalise your admission to MSc/PhD in Computer Science.
