The results for India’s most challenging science examination are in, and an incredible story of success has emerged from Kerala. As the Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI) announces its selections for the prestigious B.Sc. (Hons) class of 2025, a stunning achievement has come to light. Out of a reported 117 students selected nationwide, only four are from Kerala.

In a feat that underscores educational excellence, all four of these students—representing 100% of the Kerala contingent—were meticulously trained and guided by Brilliant Study Centre, Pala.

This is not just a victory; it is a clean sweep that speaks volumes about the calibre of the students and the unparalleled coaching that powered their journey. This success follows the CMI entrance exam held on May 24, 2025, a test renowned for its formidable difficulty.

Introducing Kerala’s CMI Champions of 2025

We proudly present the four brilliant young minds who have not just cracked an exam but have conquered a fortress. Their shared journey at Brilliant Study Centre has led them to one of India’s most elite scientific institutions.

These students have distinguished themselves on a national stage and are now set to embark on an academic journey of a lifetime.

The CMI Fortress: Why Admission is a Coveted Honour

The Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI) is a name that commands immense respect in academic circles. It is a premier hub for research and education in mathematical and computational sciences. Securing a seat here is an extraordinary achievement for several reasons:

• World-Class Programs: CMI’s flagship three-year undergraduate courses, the B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics and Computer Science and the B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics and Physics, are among the best in the nation.
• A Test of True Genius: The CMI entrance exam is legendary for its difficulty, focusing on deep conceptual clarity and innovative problem-solving rather than rote memorization.
• Extreme Selectivity: With an intake of only around 117 students from across the country, gaining admission is statistically harder than for many other premier institutes.

The Unparalleled CMI Challenge

The CMI entrance exam is a single, unified test for both its coveted B.Sc. programs. Aspirants choose their specialization only after securing admission, meaning the institute selects for pure, versatile scientific aptitude.

To truly grasp the exam’s high standard, consider this: CMI offers direct admission to students who have qualified for the highest levels of national and international science Olympiads, such as the International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp (IMOTC) or the Physics Orientation cum Selection Camp (OCSC). The entrance exam is thus benchmarked against the abilities of national Olympiad champions, making it a true test of a student’s intellectual prowess.

Brilliant Study Centre: The Architect of Absolute Success

A 100% success rate is no accident. It is the result of a deliberate, focused, and proven system. Brilliant Study Centre, Pala, has once again cemented its reputation as the undisputed leader in preparing students for the nation’s toughest entrance examinations.

This clean sweep in the CMI 2025 results from Kerala highlights Brilliant’s winning formula:

• Mastery of the Syllabus: A specialized curriculum that decodes the complex, logic-based questions unique to the CMI exam.
• Guidance from the Best: Expert faculty who provide the deep insights and mentorship necessary to tackle such a high-level test.
• A Culture of Excellence: Fostering a competitive yet supportive environment where students are motivated to push their boundaries.

Our heartiest congratulations to Mahadevan, Adl, Harith, and Nihal for their historic achievement in the CMI 2025 entrance exam. They have brought immense pride to their families, their state, and their institute. Their success story is a powerful inspiration, proving that with world-class guidance and unwavering determination, even the most ambitious dreams can be realized. They are the shining stars of the Brilliant legacy.
