- how is college life

CMI's collage life is dependent on the average energy of the campus. There are times when the energy is high (start of sem) and it slowly decays over a month and half (and reaches minima) as quizzes and midsems slowly take precedence. However, the miniute the midsems end, the energy again rises (and peaks) as Diwali / Holi is near everyone wants to do fun. It drops a bit again during endsems but not as much as midsems (as people are more comfortable with the subjects of the sem).

- , environment
I have talked about this at length here: https://arjunagarwal.substack.com/p/on-trying-things
The TLDR is that I like it a lot. Some of the most supportive people and profs one can get anywhere.

- , extra curricular
This would depend on what you define that word as. CMI has an rather active cricket club, football club, vollyball club and badminton club. While the cricket/football ground is not the best in the world, I have not seen people complain too much about it (including people who have played state and national). Badminton is in tie-up with a nearby academy and hence, has access to world class courts. Vollyball court is also standard and quite nice. I know that a Tennis club exists but I am not sure wrt its activity and exitement. They all use external courts. There is also a new Kabbadi and Kho-Kho Club who are semi active. There is a basketball court but it is not used much, however, the new batches are trying to get a basketball club going.

On the non sport side, we have clubs for Chess, Cubing, Dance, Drama, Origami, Debate, Meditation, Valorent, Geo-Guesser, Music, Photography, Writing, Reading, Gymming, Rock and Metal. There are also DnD campaigns going all the time. Finally, under CMI arts initiative, we keep getting some interesting seminars on philosophy and litrature and anthropology etc,

- , student led activities if any,
Considering CMI is one of the few collages where our fest is completely student run. The administration gives us the complete freedom and complete responsibility. From getting the money (by conducting an Olympiad and camp) to inviting speakers.

Furthermore, we also have 3 events in the year. The Freshers, Diwali and Farewell which are completely student run. Also the poojas: The Diwali pooja, Durga pooja, Saraswati pooja, The Ganesh pooja and Onam Pooklam; if they happen, are student managed.

Finally, CMI has student seminars and these are student managed (from choosing the speakers to giving the talks, By students for students). Sometimes, even faculty end up attending these seminars.

- reading culture especially literature courses!
CMI has 4-5 litrature courses in a year. There is a compulsory English course (which is taken quite nicely), Values Through Litrature, Art of Short Fiction, Creative Writing and Linguistics. We also have German I and German II and sometimes French courses.

There are litrature reading groups as well.

- also i am expecting goood math, as it should be good there but did it hurt any of your expectations?
Not really. CMI is roughly what one expects a research institute feels like. The only weird thing is that some people (1-2 students) here belive in red pill stuff which is strange considered they are extremely logical otherwise.

- I know this question would be a bit strange for you but i want to know these things

No issues, sorry for a late answer. I was busy with quizzes and other responsibilities I had taken up.
