I.S.I. & C.M.I. Entrance Program
Indian Statistical Institute and Chennai Mathematical Institute offer challenging bachelor’s program for gifted students. These courses are: B.Stat and B.Math program in I.S.I., B.Sc. Math in C.M.I.
The entrances to these programs are far more challenging than usual engineering entrances. Cheenta offers an intense, problem-driven program for these two entrances.

Problem-driven coursework
Beautiful problems are the bread and butter of our courses. Our pedagogical method typically involves a problem to concept pathway. The classes usually begin with a motivating problem. That unfolds into a deep conceptual framework, leading to more problems.
